Lot 629
Apollo 12, 1969, Geology Training "Loupe". 1x.5") This Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. "Hastings Triplet", 10x magnifiying glass was used by the consignor during Geology Training prior to his Apollo 12 flight (probably when he acquired the igneous rock tie tac in the previous lot). There is nothing special about this glass - except that it helped train one of the most exceptional pilots and astronauts in the astronaut corps. That alone should be enough to give it an important place in any space collection. A couple of minor faults just add to its charm.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
Ex. The astronaut Richard "Dick" Gordon collection.
