APOLLO 17, 1972, FLOWN UNITED STATES FLAG (6x9") This flag is mounted on a NASA presentation certificate (11x14") that reads: This flag was carried to the Moon aboard the spaceship America, Apollo XVII, December 7-19, 1972". The certificate is also marked: "In recognition of your outstanding contribution to the manned space programs, presented to Jerome B. Hammack, and hand (?) signed Christopher C. Kraft, Director, JSC, January 1981". There is light to moderate toning on the certificate as a result of hanging on a wall for many years and a darker stain around the edges of the certificate from the frame, but an attractive, rare piece of memorabilia.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 5,000.
Ex. the NASA Administrator Jerry Hammack Estate collection.
