APOLLO 13, 1970, FRAMED PRESENTATION CERTIFICATE. A candid, slightly blurry, black and white photo (10x13") showing the astronaut and NASA wives waiting out the night in the Lovell living room until the recovery of the Apollo 13 crew. The photo is mounted on a white mat (16x20, framed to 18x22") that is faintly inscribed: "Splashdown of Apollo XIII, April 1970, To Adeline, A nightmare that turned into a glorious ending! Couldn't have done without you through the long night - Marilyn Lovell". An important side of the flight that has generally been overlooked by history and collectors. This piece is extremely rare or even unique today.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
