Author	Topic: 231827913740: Apollo Saturn IB fin relic
bklyn55 Member Posts: 361 From: Milford, CT Registered: Dec 2014	posted 06-25-2017 04:53 PM I'd like to know if anyone has any knowledge about this piece of Saturn fin (eBay item #231827913740)? I've Googled Century Concepts and can't find anything on them. Is this "relic" for real?

As mentioned here: [Ed Humphreys] was previously with Toys and Models Corp., which produces most of the wooden desktop spacecraft and rocket models sold at NASA visitor center and museum gift shops. He has also produced framed artifact displays, not dissimilar from this one, for the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex's Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit. You can see other Century Concepts framed products here.
