I'm starting to go through my collection and pare down what I have to make room for (and raise money for) some of the categories I really care about! (launch vehicles/operations, spacecraft, and early aerospace!) I'll probably have a few sets of items as I go through what I have, so here's a start!

I linked one picture for each item and happy to send you more pictures of anything below. Post here and/or drop me an e-mail with any questions!

I'm open to offers and trades as well, if the shoe fits.

Summary of Items

  1. NASA JPL metal desk clock - SOLD!
  2. NASA JPL Employee Appreciation Kepler 1229B aluminum sports water bottle - inquire if interested
  3. Combining all the prints and lowering the price: 8 1950s North American Aviation prints of NASA, USAF Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps fighter jet planes - SOLD! (extra for international)

Item Details

  1. NASA JPL metal desk clock - SOLD!

  2. NASA JPL Employee Appreciation Kepler 1229B aluminum sports water bottle - inquire if interested

    Like New condition, cared for and unused.

    Water Bottle given to JPL employees during a 2019 JPL Employee Appreciation Event. This particular bottle is from a JPL Spacecraft Engineer's Personal collection!

    Different planetary systems and celestial bodies are stylized like sports teams as this bottle shows -- Kepler 1229B Terra Novas. There were 4 styles in total, so you could collect them all!

    You all may be aware that Kepler 1229B is a planet discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope. The planet is unique because it is in a "Goldilocks Zone." Kepler 1229B is just far enough away from its sun that it's not too cold and not too hot (Goldilocks) so could have the right conditions for LIFE!

  3. 8 1950s North American Aviation prints of NASA, USAF, Navy, and USMC fighter jet planes and a missile - SOLD!

    Two different size prints (12"x15" and 16"x20") professional high quality prints from North American Aviation with some wear around edges and some corner creases, and one print (F-106) has slightly torn corner, otherwise in great shape. Stored and will be delivered rolled up.

    Aircraft included:

    T-39 Sabreliner: NASA research and USAF/USN/USMC trainer jet (12"x15"). NASA Dryden/Armstrong used this for wide variety of research and as a NASA test pilot Gordon Fullerton flew this aircraft (he was fully qualified in it.

    Convair F-106 Delta Dart: NASA research/trainer and USAF all-weather interceptor (16"x20"). NASA Lewis/Glenn, Langley, and Dryden/Armstrong used for flight research and the Mercury 7 (Carpenter, Cooper, Glenn, Grissom, Schirra, Shepard, Slayton), Neil Armstrong and many other astronauts and NASA test pilots flew this aircraft. In fact, NASA was the last organization to pilot any F-106 before it was retired.

    Republic F-105D Thunderchief: NASA research and USAF supersonic fighter bomber (16"x20"). NASA Langley performed research with and Deke Slayton, Neil Armstrong, and Bob White all flew variants of this aircraft.

    GAM77 Hound Dog: USAF supersonic, turbojet-propelled, air-launched cruise air to surface missile (12"x15"). Fabricated and assembled at North American Aviation's Downey Facility (shared site of other notable space program milestones, including construction various Apollo hardware and the Space Shuttle Orbiters). The Hound Dog missile is one reason why major Apollo hardware was constructed in North American Aviation's Oklahoma (and other) locations instead of Downey. Also, the Hound Dog was tested at Cape Canaveral (during the Atlantic Missile Range days).

    FJ Fury: US Marine Corps fighter-bomber (12"x15"). Jim Lovell, Dick Gordon, and Gene Cernan all flew some variant of this aircraft.

    FJ-4B Fury: US Navy close support fighter-bomber (12"x15"). As noted above, Jim Lovell, Dick Gordon, and Gene Cernan all flew some variant of this aircraft.

    T2J-1 Buckeye: NASA research and US Navy and Marine Corps trainer aircraft (12"x15"). Tested by NASA Langley in free-spinning wind tunnel.

    A3J-1 Vigilante: NASA research and US Navy and Marine Corps carrier-based supersonic bomber (12"x15"). NASA Dryden used for supersonic transport research.

Thanks all for checking these out!

The prints and water container are still available! Open to offers! The prints make a great gift to the service member or collector in your life! And all of the aircraft are connected to the early years of the space program in some fashion!
