RR Auction – memorabilia that made history

RR Auction is no stranger to remarkable rarities and unbelievably rare items that collectors would do anything to get their hands on. Over the years, the auction company has managed to sell quite a few of these fantastic artifacts that are not your regular, every day, affordable type of collectibles. Here are a few examples of rarities that broke all records.

Back in 2014 RR Auction got a flown lunar module rotational hand controller. It’s no secret that when it comes to space exploration there is a very vivid interest from worldwide collectors and everyone is eager at least to get a look at this kind of items. However, the final bid on this item is still quite impressive. The bidding started at $10,000 and ended at $610,063.48. Shocking as it might seem, you need to keep in mind that this product was not only used by David Scott himself, but it was also flown to the lunar surface on board Apollo’s 15 Lunar Module Falcon.  It is a one of a kind item that is worth every penny.

If you thought that was impressive, wait until you hear about the Apollo 15 Lunar Surface Chronograph. This is yet another item related to space exploration and it was also used by David Scott during the Apollo 15 mission.  This Bulova wrist chronograph was carried as a backup device in case the NASSA issued Omega watch would have failed.  The Starting bid was $50,000 and this piece of space exploration history was eventually sold with no more and no less than $1,625,000. Yes, you actually read that right. The chronograph which David Scott wore on the Apollo 15 mission was sold for more than 1.5 million dollars. This has to be one of the most impressive sales in the history of collectibles and memorabilia.

As it turns out, RR Auction has a knack for finding valuable and rare items that collectors are thrilled to add to their collections. If you too are one of these collectors, you should not hesitate to get your RR Auction news and updates from the website or Twitter and Facebook.
