Apollo 10, 1969, FLOWN "Peacock Feather" (3x2.5") This striking feather "eye" is mounted on a 1971 typed letter on NASA letterhead stationery from the Apollo 10 crew (Stafford, Young and Cernan) to a Mr. Philip Mikoda, listing the items they carried for him on the flight. Among the items listed are "Peacock feathers". There is a faded ink notation at the bottom of the letter from Phil Mikoda to his friend Bill Bellmer, sending him the crew letter and one of the peacock feathers and stating that it flew around the moon.
The letter is mounted in a metal frame (10x8"), that shows some natural aging and has a large water stain at the bottom. The feather has survived with its beauty intact. Flown memorabilia from this flight is seldom available.
