This classic super size moon is printed using the cyanotype photographic method. The work was recently in the exhibition ‘In Blue’ at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum.

The image is printed off a large photo negative on an archival 100% cotton rag watercolor paper. The paper is hand coated with the cyanotype photographic solution then exposed / developed, washed and dried. The process of developing the work with UV light creates the unique deep indigo color permanently on the paper and also captures high detail. This is an original photo of the work and each is unique due to the hand coating and washing process.

Framed in a matte black wood frame and mounted on an archival substrate with framing acrylic

Measures: 49.5” x 64.5”

The snowy owl was photographed in North Central Illinois on a wintery February evening perched on a log. The image has gentle blue tones and a gradient background that really enhances the owls features. The owl has a beautiful soft drawing effect with the subtle lighting that is only captured in evening light making it a surreal and dreamlike image.

This wind tunnel model is unusual in that it has the original mounting bar that they used as they were creating the aircraft. From what I have researched it is most likely an X-type model prototype. The model is made of steel and aluminum with signs of bondo type sculpting compound used to shape certain areas as they were testing the aerodynamics. The mounting bar has all the small wires that were attached to the craft to collect data. This model is most likely from the late 1950’s—quite a heavy piece the model and base together weighs 85 lbs. I have acquired other wind tunnel testing components listed separately. All of these came from a collector and were acquired from NASA AMES wind tunnel testing facility.

Last picture shows scale of the model next to a 6’ tall manikin wearing the Apollo LCVG garment ( listed and sold separately)

Measures: Base is 14” x 9.5” x 1.5” H overall height of piece on stand is 44.5”

The unique stubby razor-thin wings of the F-104 were designed to minimize transonic drag and push the aircraft past Mach 2. This tested model C.1950’s is an original piece used at Ames NASA testing facility when creating the aircraft. The wing comes with the original steel mount, which now makes a nice stand for the piece.

Piece is in good condition with some signs of pitting and some age old dings on corners which you’d expect from age and testing

piece is made of aluminum with steel mounting bracket

Pictured with an average man's manikin head for scale the piece measures 17.75” at the highest point and 21.25 at the widest. Stand is 7.5” x 3” and weighs 21 lbs.

The Ophthalmophantome or ‘Eye Phantom’ is so difficult to find that you rarely see these come up for sale. Most are in museums or in private collections. This is why after finding the most recent phantom we professionally had a mold made to document and preserve these hard to find objects of study.

The intent wasn’t to make an edition of these, but was more a labor of love and realizing that it has taken me well over a decade to get one in the shop . I have found three different ones in all of my searches but this one is the most sought after model from the 1880’s or Augustan style bust by John Reynders & Co.

The original was a very interesting example as it was an un-tooled casting so the phantom was still in process of assembly.

Vecabe’ produced these beautiful dental models in the 1920’s that were used for training purposes. Each tooth is fired enamel and is held by a pin system that aligns perfectly to make a correct bite. The model is silver plated and has signs of oxidation but when you take the teeth out you can see the original luster. The top of the mouth flips in a horizontal position and it is held by the rear of the stand. This piece is serial 12163 (with original matching numbered box) and these unique training models are very scarce and hard to come by.

This extra special set—the first I have acquired complete with original box with many teeth of varying procedures done in silver and gold (I believe it is brass and some white metal) . There are so many attachments for the teeth such as partials done in various metals and filling work of many types — also several false teeth. All of these pieces are specific to this training set and can fit the mouth to simulate the needed procedure for study . The box is in great shape with clean blue velvet which is a striking display when opening the box. The mouth can change ‘looks’ as desired from perfect to a well abused mouth.

Dr. Galeski was responsible for producing eye prosthetics in America during the 1940’s. Prior to that the U.S relied on the Germans for prosthetic glass eyes. Needless to say Dr. Galeski is an innovator in acrylic prosthetic production and it is quite rare to get a selection of these historical eyes. These eyes come inside an aluminum box with eye openings. The box can be displayed on a table top or stands up for display.

Contains four unique eyes in varying blues with minute details of veins, hand coloring, and various states of production
