Authenticity & Inventory

Are these items reproductions or replicas?

Absolutely not. Every single item in our shop is a 100% authentic, original vintage or antique piece from the Apollo era and earlier. We do not sell modern reproductions, or recreations. You are buying a genuine piece of space-age history.

Where do these items come from?

These pieces belong to the private estate of my late grandfather, who worked directly for NASA during its most iconic era. We also purchase and curate other estates. They have been carefully stored and preserved for decades before being made available to the public here.

What condition are the items in?

Because these are authentic vintage and antique items from the 1960s and 1970s, they will naturally show varying signs of age, wear, and history. We do our absolute best to provide clear, high-resolution photographs and detailed descriptions of each item’s condition. Please review all photos and descriptions carefully before making a purchase. Feel free to ask any questions before purchasing!

Orders & Shipping

What is your processing time?

We are a small, family-run operation handling incredibly rare items. Please allow 3 business days for us to carefully verify, package, and process your order before it is handed over to the carrier.

How do you ship items, and how long does it take?

To keep shipping reliable and straightforward, we ship exclusively via USPS Ground.

Once processed, delivery typically takes 2 to 5 business days depending on your location.

Tracking information will be emailed to you the moment your shipping label is created.

Can I cancel my order?

You may cancel your order only if it has not yet shipped. Once an item has been packaged and shipped, we cannot accommodate cancellations. If you need to cancel an order, please contact us immediately with your order number.

How do you package these rare items?

We understand the historical value of these collectibles. Every order is packaged with extreme care using archival-safe and highly protective materials when needed to ensure it arrives at your doorstep safely.

Returns & Refunds

What is your return policy?

All sales are final. Due to the unique, rare, and vintage nature of these one-of-a-kind historical items, we do not accept returns or exchanges once an order has been shipped.

What if my item arrives damaged?

While we pack everything meticulously, transit accidents can happen. If your item arrives damaged during shipping, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos of the damaged item and the packaging so we can help resolve the issue.

Have a question about a specific piece?

We love talking about space history! If you need more details, extra photos, or have questions about a specific item before making a purchase, please reach out to us at spaceheritagellc@gmail.com, and we will be happy to assist you.

Do you buy collections outright, or do you accept donations and consignments?

We do all three! Because every estate situation is unique, we offer flexible options to fit what is best for you and your family:

Outright Purchase: If you want a clean, fast transition, we will evaluate your collection and make a competitive cash offer for the entire estate or select pieces.
Consignment: For highly rare or high-value items, we can handle the restoration, photography, and marketing to sell them through our established network of serious collectors, splitting the final sale.
Donations: If your priority is purely historical preservation and ensuring the items are archived and shared with the world rather than sold for profit, we accept donations and will cover all shipping and handling logistics.
