Apollo 14, 1971, Moon Rock Containment Vessel (about 7x6") This striking two part, stainless steel vessel has a single action bolt, pressure handle on top and a "014" stencilled on the side. The bottom is engraved: "National Sanitary Foundation / Stainless Steel". The markings are rather hard to read as the vessel is sealed in two clear plastic pouches with a red/white NASA MSC "Cleaned for Service" label attached to the bottom. The label is hand notated and signed and is dated 3-31-70 and marked "LRL - Tools". This may have been destined for the moon rocks recovered on Apollo 14.
