I have a large collection (130 plus items assembled mostly in the 90's; probably one of if not the most extensive single collections of X-15 items) including photographs, autographed photographs, pilot correspondence, models, toys, books, etc., covering I think all of the X-15 pilots and even a recovered piece of the inconel skin from the X-15 that crashed in the desert with provenance.

I would welcome suggestions or thoughts as to a recommended auction house to handle a sale of the collection or method of selling the collection. — John Bottger

I've often thought that if I had to sell my collection (that is X-15 heavy), I'd go with Lunar Legacies. Very professional with a great reputation here on cS!

Agree with Lunar Legacies but there is also American Space Museum. See American Space listings in the auction forum for Chuck's (Chuckster01) email.

Solid auction with proceeds to a great cause.

Can you give us some idea of what it is you have to sell regarding the X-15? That might also help in finding someone who can help to sell the lot for you.
