I have never actually seen one but I understand that there is a smaller size of Kansas Cosmosphere lucite with a Liberty Bell 7 component in existence. Does anyone know more about these or have one available?

Yes, there were three sizes produced, each with different types of items (original prices from Cosmosphere website):
  1. Small - Ex. Nuts, bolts, washers ($150).

  2. Medium - Ex. small pressure fittings and other unique items ($250).

  3. Large - Ex. large pressure fittings, segments of landing bag assembly, and other unique items ($400).
Here is a grouping showing side-by-side comparisons. The bottom row has two of the smaller size with a medium in the middle.

Thanks! That really helps.

I was briefly the owner of one similar to the top right, I bought it from another member but then ended up trading it for another piece I’d been looking for. The middle one in the top row is floating around for sale as well I think.

I’m hoping to find a smaller size one with a bolt or some other cool recognizable component.
