Apollo 11 State Dinner, August 13, 1969: Crew-Signed Souvenir Lunar Replica Plaque Directly from the Personal Collection of Michael Collins, CAG Certified. A 7.5" x 5.5" replica of the famous plaque left on the surface of the moon attached to the Lunar Module Eagle bearing the iconic phrase: "We came in peace for all mankind." This one has the added engraving at the bottom: "President's Dinner Honoring Apollo 11 Astronauts/ August 13, 1969" as given to the attendees of that dinner. It was boldly signed along the bottom of the plaque that night in black felt tip: "Neil Armstrong", "Michael Collins", and "Buzz Aldrin". On August 13th the crew of Apollo 11 was feted with ticker tape parades in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. That evening, they attended this State Dinner with President Nixon and numerous congressmen, governors, and ambassadors from around the world, as well as their fellow astronauts, where they were presented Presidential Medals of Freedom. The plaque is mounted to an 11.25" x 18" piece of heavy cardstock with the Apollo 11 insignia on verso. These plaques are rarely offered from a crewmember's collection. Sealed in a numbered archival sleeve, CAG 1000461-004. Excellent.Auction Info
