Lot 430
Apollo 15, 1971, FLOWN "Lunar Dust" & "Gold Foil". The "Lunar Dust" is attached to a piece of scotch tape (.75x1") as usual. The tape is mounted on a multicolor Williamson certificate of authenticity (8x10") which states how he personally removed this sample of dust from the leg of Dave Scott's spacesuit (currently on display at the Smithsonian) after recovery. Williamson, Team Leader of the NASA Photographic Team attached to Recovery Operations onboard the USS Okinawa, was one of the few people with access to the capsule, suits and dust at the time.
The "Gold Foil" (.75x.5") is mounted on a similair Williamson certificate of authenticity. The two certificates and specimens are professionally double matted and framed (39x24") along with a black and white NASA photo of Dave Scott on the lunar surface (signed by Scott in blue ink - with a NovaGraphics certificate of authenticity) and an Apollo 15 crew patch.
An important piece of space memorabilia that deserves a place of honor in any collection.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500.
