The 50th anniversary of the moon landing is fast approaching (it?s July 20th, by the way). To mark this important milestone, Sotheby?s is putting together a Speedmaster-themed auction that will take place in New York the day before. There will be 50 lots ? many of them vintage Speedies ? but there will also be a handful of moon landing-related ephemera. If you?re in New York, then you can preview the auction at Sotheby?s from July 13-18, and the auction begins at 2pm on the 19th.  CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE
