Moon Rover US Prototype |
Moon Rover UK Prototype |
Moon Rover was carved in England by Sherman Drackett. It is
the second in the Fab Five trilogy and was available only as a redemption
piece to members of the 2001 Royal Watch. There were 3 versions of this
piece: US Charter Member, with the US flag inside; UK Charter Member, with
the Union Jack inside; and Non-Charter Member, with the HK flag inside.
These prototypes are the US and UK Charter Member versions. They have been
signed by both the artist, Sherman Drackett, and Martin Perry, HK's Artistic
Director.

Moon Rover Prototype Lid |
Moon Rover Issue Lid |
In the prototypes the character sitting behind Wolfy is Tubs,
who is talking on a hand-held radio or telephone. Tubs' green shell appears
on the back of the lid. In the version that was issued, that character is
Minx, and she is checking her makeup. The back of the lid has also been
changed. The prototypes have the standard hallmarks, but no year stamp.
