A number of years ago was lucky enough to have added Apollo 17 America's flown fire extinguisher to the collection. The extinguisher (like a couple of others offered from preceding flights) unfortunately had been separated from its burst disc assemblies. The original disc assembly made its appearance this auction. Now reinstalled in its rightful location the extinguisher is complete once more.
What a truly gratifying experience as a collector to be able to restore a small part of history.

Love it. Nothing like a good reunion and nice work bringing a great artifact to whole status again, Scott.
Another excellent RR auction with impressive depth and breadth.
