Apollo 7, 1969, Unrecorded FLOWN Sterling Silver Robbins Medallion Tie Clip (No. 252) This tie clip is unrecorded in the Weinberger "Robbins Medallion" compendium and history of these famous medallions. Similar tie clips are recorded from later Apollo flights, but not from this one; the first manned Apollo flight. This may well have been a prototype for the concept as it was found in the consignor's jewelry box. Interesting and unusual.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
Ex. the astronaut Donald K. "Deke" Slayton Family collection.
