Apollo 16

This flag is not the typical PPK flag, of which there are thousands, that were flown to the Moon. This flag encountered the three most significant events of the early 70's. It was originally presented to Thomas Seitzinger by his mother as he was leaving for a tour of Vietnam. Thomas carried this flag in his wallet throughout his time fighting in that war. When Thomas returned home, a decorated hero, he sent the flag to President Nixon and asked him if he would see to it that the flag was sent to the Moon. John Young would later carry the flag to the lunar surface on Apollo 16 and return it to Thomas. The flag has accompanying documentation to back up the fact this flag experienced the Vietnam war, the Watergate plagued White House, and the Apollo lunar program.

The man who took his family to the Moon

Charlie Duke took several copies of his family photo with him to the Moon's surface onboard the lunar module Orion. He left one of these photo's out on the Moon's surface and photographed it, and brought the rest of them back to Earth. He gave these flown copies to his family members and one to the photographer that took the picture. This is that photo... and likely to be the only flown copy to be owned outside of the Duke family.

Apollo 16 3D topo map of the landing site

This is a very rare topo map... the only one that I've seen or heard about. Here's my tally of Apollo topo maps that I know of, and how many of each that have been listed for sale... Apollo 11, two known ones, one that has come onto the open market... Apollo 12, one... Apollo 14, one... Apollo 15, three... Apollo 16, one... Apollo 17, five, one is at Jim Lovell's restaurant, one that was listed and pulled before auction, and two that has come onto the open market. That's a total of only thirteen known copies of lunar surface landing site topo maps that I know of in existence... with only five of these having been offered for public sale. Are there more? Likely... but they are rare.
