Paper. Condition: Good. First Edition. An Original Official NASA Apollo 13 Astronaut Picture with Auto Pen Signatures of Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise. C1972. Apollo 13 (April 11-17, 1970) was the seventh crewed mission in the Apollo space program and the third meant to land on the Moon. The craft was launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 11, 1970, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank in the service module (SM) ruptured two days into the mission, disabling its electrical and life-support system. The crew, supported by backup systems on the lunar module (LM), instead looped around the Moon in a circumlunar trajectory and returned safely to Earth on April 17. The mission was commanded by Jim Lovell, with Jack Swigert as command module (CM) pilot and Fred Haise as lunar module (LM) pilot. Made into a successful film. Size is 255mm x 205mm. Condition is good. Light finger/handling creasing. More images can be taken upon request. RefA1234. Signed by Author(s).

A good example of an auto pen signed NASA picture. C1972. Apollo 11 (July 16-24, 1969) was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon.

Archive of 63 vintage vernacular and professional photographs, along with a number of newspaper and program clippings, all relating to midget auto racing in Southern California, circa 1937-1938. All materials housed in a string-bound scrapbook, with captions in manuscript ink adjacent to most photographs. Of particular note in the archive are five photographs of African American "outlaw" racer Rajo Jack, the first driver to integrate into the all-white sport-nearly two decades before Jackie Robinson broke the "color barrier" in Major League baseball in 1947. Born Dewey Gatson in 1905, Jack would never have been able to compete on a national level in the American Automobile Association (AAA) due to his race, so he instead competed in the American Racing Association (ARA), the largest racing body to allow him to compete-making him an "outlaw" racer in the eyes of the AAA, and largely restricting him to West Coast racing. A continual target of discrimination, Jack would frequently claim to be of Native American or Portuguese heritage in order to race, although he was largely welcomed by his fellow drivers out of respect for his talent. These supporters would frequently band together to insist on Jack receiving equal service at segregated restaurants and motels. Jack won races up and down the West Coast in stock cars, midgets, big cars, and motorcycles, and in 2003 was inducted into the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame, and the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2007. Archive also includes content relating to drivers Fred Frame and the Robson brothers, as well as the Oakland Speedway and the Southern Ascot Speedway. Other noted drivers in the collection include Travis 'Spider' Webb, Tex Petersen (including one photograph signed by Petersen), Einer 'Swede' Lindskog, Harry Lester, Morris 'Slim' Mathis, Hal Robson, and Harry Secrest. An impressive and extensive archive of photographs of the South California midget auto racing scene of the 1930s, with a rare substantial grouping of photographs of Rajo Jack at the height of his career. Scrapbook measuring 12.25 x 13.5 inches. Very Good, with most leaves brittle and separated from binding. Photographs generally 5 x 3.25 inches, with one as small as 1.25 x 1.5 inches, and several as large as 5 x 3.25 inches. Very Good plus to Near Fine.

[Labor Organizing] Ford River Rouge plant press photographs documenting labor conflict, picketing, and union organization at the largest industrial complex in the United States from the early UAW recognition battles of 1941 through the major Ford walkouts of 1949 and 1967. The River Rouge plant in Dearborn employed tens of thousands of workers and was the center of Ford's anti-union resistance during the rise of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). Ford Motor Company remained the last major Detroit automaker to recognize the United Auto Workers after General Motors and Chrysler signed contracts following the 1936-1937 sit-down strikes. Several scenes here connect directly to the April 1941 strike that finally forced Ford to negotiate with the UAW after years of union busting and company sanctioned violence against organizers. Later scenes document the 1949 strike involving roughly 65,000 workers and the 1967 Rouge walkout, documenting three decades of union activity in the American auto labor history. Photo archive of 9 black-and-white press photographs, silver gelatin prints, ranging from 7 x 9" to 8 x 11", Dearborn and Detroit, Michigan, 1941-1967. Photographs show UAW members at Rouge plant gates carrying placards reading "Ford Is On Strike," while reporters and cameramen surround circular picket formations outside the factory entrances. One scene records women from the Women's Auxiliary of UAW Local 600 marching in orderly formation with American flags during an April 1941 demonstration outside the Rouge complex. Another captures a state policeman advancing with baton raised as two men recoil during violence near a plant gate; the attached caption identifies one figure as an unidentified Black man striking a UAW picket captain. Additional scenes show workers waiting in line for pay envelopes during the strike, men gathered outside plant entrances under heavy guard, and a largely idle assembly floor where a lone foreman sits beside silent production lines after tens of thousands of workers walked out. Typed press captions affixed to versos on image margins, including references to the May 1949 strike and September 1967 Rouge picketing. The Ford strikes were some of the most consequential labor battles in twentieth-century American industry. Ford's Service Department under Harry Bennett built an extensive anti-union apparatus that used labor spies, intimidation, and physical violence against organizers, culminating in nationally publicized confrontations such as the 1937 "Battle of the Overpass." The April 1941 strike represented the decisive collapse of Ford's resistance to industrial unionism and secured UAW recognition at the Rouge plant, fundamentally changing labor relations in the American automobile industry. These scenes preserve not only the mechanics of organized strike action but also the scale of industrial labor mobilization in midcentury Detroit, where mass demonstrations were central in the struggle between organized labor and corporate management. Light creasing, scattered surface wear, and minor handling marks consistent with newsroom use; captions and editorial markings largely intact and legible. Overall good to very good condition. Signed.
