ASTP, 1975, FLOWN Slayton Teaspoon (7") This stainless steel spoon was made by "Continental" as marked on the stem. It has a bilingual "Apollo/Soyuz" and a "NASA" emblem on the front of the handle and "DMP (Docking Module Pilot) - Donald K. Slayton" on the back. The spoon shows minor signs of wear, but is in excellent condition given its age. Slayton used this spoon during his flight and gave it to the consignor when he returned. It has been in the consignor's safe deposit box for the past 30+ years. Only one set of silverware was given each astronaut for use during the flight, thus making this spoon unique and irreplaceable.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 5,000.
Ex. the astronaut Donald "Deke" Slayton Family collection.
