An Apollo 11 flown flag was the top lot at Nate D Sanders' January 30 auction, achieving $63,195.
The flag is attached to a certificate that reads: "This flag traveled to the Moon with Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing, July 20, 1969.''
 The flag was flown aboard the Apollo 11 mission |
It features the signatures of Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins in pen, and despite some light toning is in exceptional condition.
Recently, Apollo 11 flown flags have seen a rise in price point, with another example realising $71,875 at Heritage Auctions last year.
We have a complete set of Apollo 11 autographs for sale.
A china soup plate from founding father Thomas Jefferson's White House was another highlight, making $26,121.
 The plate dates to Jefferson's time in the White House |
It is made from white china with blue accents and includes a central shield with a monogrammed J at its centre. Jefferson (1743-1826) was president of the United States between 1801 and 1809.
In May last year, a signed letter from Thomas Jefferson made $19,000 at Swann Auction Galleries.
