RARE 5X7 B&W GLossy vintage photograph signed in ballpoint ink by Harvey H. Nininger. In very good condition.(1887-1986) Harvey Harlow Nininger was an American meteoriticist and educator, and although he was self-taught, he revived interest in the scientific study of meteorites in the 1930s and assembled the largest personal collection of meteorites up to that time.In 1942 Nininger founded the American Meteorite Museum, which was first located near Meteor Crater, Arizona (1942–1953), then in Sedona, Arizona (1953–1960).Part of the Nininger Collection was sold to the British Museum in 1958, and the remainder of the collection was sold to the Arizona State University Center for Meteorite Studies in 1960 which displays a selection of these meteorites in their public museum.This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022. Jim Wiggins accumulated the most unique and valuable autograph collection over a period of 70-plus years. He obtained his collection either in person or by writing to persons of fame and notoriety. Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics.
