Flown Apollo 11 Thermal Coating, Two 1 inch square samples of Apollo 11 Kapton foil Command Module thermal coating. The gold side of the foil has been affixed to a Plexiglas square in preparation for presentation. The reverse side (silver colored) is exposed. These samples were destined for a more formal presentation but are very interesting in their current form. Includes a consignor’s handwritten, signed COA that reads in part, "This foil is from Apollo 11, CM 107, "Columbia"… It was given to me in mid 1969, and has been in my possession ever since". A great way to create 2 of your own presentation pieces and be able to actually touch the outer surface of the Apollo 11 Command Module.

Apollo 11 Lunar Plaque – Made from the original negative., The original Apollo 11 stainless steel plaque measures 9" x 7 5/8" and is affixed to the Eagle’s ladder. This aluminum plaque measuring 3"x 2½" was made by NASA from the same negative using the same photo etching process as the one on the LM. Includes a consignor’s handwritten, signed COA that reads in part, "This small Apollo 11 plaque was made from the master negative. This same negative was used to produce the plaque left on the lunar surface." No more than 200 of these small plaques were made and given to NASA employees and most have likely been lost over the years. This would go nicely with the 2 squares of Kapton foil also offered in this section.
