Four commemorative NASA shadow sets. I didn't do my homework and rushed my bid on this thinking that it was just one shadow set (the first one) that included Jim Lovell's (Apollo 13) signature along with "Houston, we've had a problem." In fact, it's four sets and I very much doubt that Lovell's signature is an original. Oh well. As art produced en masse, the sets are nice but probably not $49 nice unless the medallion included with the Apollo 13 set is silver. It might be. They used to make 99.999% silver medallions a few decades ago. I've got some. I am sure that the original owner paid a LOT more than I did! (but that doesn't mean that I want to pay souvenir shop prices.) $49 + 15%.

We spent quite a bit at two auctions this evening. I'll post photos of a few of the items.

This oil painting is by a seemingly unknown artist, W. Darby. If there's a record of him somewhere, I haven't yet found it. I therefore assume it to have no inherent value; I bought it only because I think it's a beaut. I like ocean scenes- especially those with ships. $47 + 15%. Including the frame, it's 2' high.
