Description
Amazing Apollo model signed by nineteen astronauts including seven moonwalkers.
Apollo Spacecraft Contractor's Model, Circa 1960, Signed by Nineteen Astronauts including Neil Armstrong. A model of the Apollo command/service module and escape tower, 20.75" tall, made by the Walter J Hyatt Company for the North American Aviation, Inc. with their and NASA's logos on the 6.75" diameter base. This scarce and sought-after model bears the signatures of nineteen astronauts, as follows: "Neil Armstrong"; "Ron Evans" (1933-1990); "Alan L Bean"; "P. J. Weitz"; "Jack Swigert" (1931-1982); "John Young"; "Dick Gordon"; "James Lovell"; "Charles Conrad Jr" (1930-1999); "James A. McDivitt"; "Fred W. Haise"; "Al Worden"; "Dave Scott"; "Alan Shepard" (1923-1998); "Gene Cernan"; "Tom Stafford"; "Vance Brand"; "Michael Collins"; and "Wally Schirra" (1923-2007). This represents seven of the twelve men who walked on the moon and fifteen of the twenty-four that flew to the moon. There are several empty areas that could be used to obtain additional signatures; four of the remaining five moonwalkers could possibly be added at shows or private signings. Two NASA embroidered patches are included with this lot. A rare opportunity to own an amazing display item. Disassembles to five pieces. About very good condition with general soiling and wear much of which could be cleaned or restored.Auction Info
