Provenance
Authenticity
Collectors paying hundreds or thousands of dollars are not buying a souvenir. They are buying a paper trail. This is ours.
The silica body and catch-pin sockets. Every lot is photographed front and back before it leaves.
Laid out on the patio: flap leading edge, catch-pin tile, pentagon hinge, squares and hexes. Identification happens here, not in a studio.
What every lot carries
- Serial. Format S33-WC-XXX. Ship 33, West Caicos, house number.
- Measurements. Width, height, thickness, weight. Photographed with a scale.
- Condition. Pristine, pitted, water-worn, charred, melted, or fragment.
- Recovery. Date and beach. The first walk was 22 January 2025 on the eastern beach of West Caicos.
- Certificate. Issued with the order. Each serial lives at heatshieldtiles.com/certificate/… — preview any lot from its dossier.
How identified lots are matched
Most hexes are hexes. A few are not. The catch-pin tile and the leeward-flap pentagon were matched against factory stills of later ships because those stations are not visible on wreckage alone. When we use a factory photograph, the dossier says so. The object you receive is always the West Caicos recovery, never a studio stand-in.
Flight camera, not the recovered object. The catch pin and the hexes at work — the same stations we sell from West Caicos.

What this is not
This house is not affiliated with SpaceX. We do not sell “official” merchandise. We do not claim these objects were released by the company. We recovered them from a public beach after Flight 7 and sell them as memorabilia, as-is.
Pad-shed tiles from Boca Chica are a different object. If a listing elsewhere does not say Flight 7 / Ship 33 / Turks and Caicos, it is not this recovery.
