Lot 32
MA-8, 1962, FLOWN $1.00 Bill (Series 1957A) The bill, autographed at the right by Wally Schirra, is matted and framed (8.5x10.5"). There is a typed descriptive inscription below the bill that reads: "This bill accompanied Commander Walter M. Schirra, Jr. in Sigma 7 during his sixth orbital flight, Wednesday, October 5, 1962". He gave this bill to the consignor after the flight as a birthday present since Bill Dana's birthday, October 5, was the same as the day of the flight.
The autograph has faded over the past 45 years and the mat is extensively toned, but flown currency from this flight is extremely scarce today. This piece will be an important addition to any collection.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,000.
Ex. the comedian Bill Dana/Jose Jimenez collection.
