Science, Technology, Space Exploration & Meteorites

Auction Details

RR's inaugural Science & Technology auction chronicles innovation across the ages: from the Wright Brothers' first flight to Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon; the development of the telegraph to the communications revolution enabled by computers and the internet; military cipher machines that have puzzled and captivated since the days of World War II; and the geniuses that made it all possible. Highlights include a remarkable assortment of meteorites, a postcard by Alan Turing, a Stephen Hawking signed book, numerous artifacts flown on the Apollo missions, and letters by luminaries like Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Charles Darwin. RR Auction is a globally recognized and trusted auction house specializing in historical autographs and artifacts. Join us as we make history selling history in July 2020.
