FOR MR. KUBRICK: ETHEL'S FINAL KINDNESS

Hi Woodsy,

I had an acquaintance who was a fanatical props collector. He had an original space helmet and laser gun from the 1965 "Lost in Space" TV series.

He would tantalise me with stories of a wooden box marked "For Mr. Kubrick" 

which he said contained a rubber miniature spaceman used in the Pod accident 

scene of 2001. He said it was "absolutely perfect with all the straps and little 

buckles..."

I doubted the veracity of his claims, but even so, I wanted to believe it 

really was real. Somewhere out there, just beyond our sight, lurk the objects of our desire. They are real and tangible - even if only as figments of our imagination...

Well I've finally tracked down that box along with an accompanying letter!

Pictures attached.

Regards
