MR-4, 1961 FLOWN Movie Film (1.5") This original exposed film was recovered from the Liberty Bell in 2001 after the Liberty Bell capsule was recovered from over 16,000 feet below the ocean waves. The capsule hatch blew prematurely, flooding the capsule after landing in 1961. It took 38 years before the capsule was located and technology had advanced to the point where the capsule, and all it contained could be recovered.
The film is mounted in a special, limited edition (No. 656/1999) rectangular piece of clear lucite (8x3x1.75") with descriptive flight information as prepared by Kansas Cosmosphere, the Kansas Museum that restored the capsule after recovery. A printed Kansas Cosmosphere COA is included in the original box. Scarce and attractive.
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
