Many years ago, the planet Krypton burned like a green star in the endless heavens. Jor-El, Krypton’s top scientist, reported to the high council that the planet was doomed and would soon be destroyed. He proposed to construct a fleet of giant rockets to transport the planet’s population to earth. His prediction was ridiculed. Undaunted, Jor-El returned to his laboratory and prepared to test his model escape rocket. But, it was too late! The planet’s destruction had begun. Jor-El and his wife, Lara, wrapped their baby son in blankets and placed him in the rocket. As the rocket left the planet’s atmosphere, Krypton exploded into billions of pieces. This is a model of the rocket that brought Superman to earth and was discovered by the Kent’s of Smallville.

I’ve been collecting super-hero items since the 1960’s. But I think it’s time to start reducing my private collection. I’ve enjoyed them for the past 60 years and now it’s time for others to enjoy them. The items have been in display cases. Please see my other auctions, there may be something that interests you. Thank you
