Lot 67
Apollo Program, 1969, "Official Crawler/Transporter Driver's License" (14x11", matted to 17x14"). This official "license" (License No. 7) was "Awarded this date to: Bill Dana, who has sat behind and fiddled with the controls of the biggest, slowest, strongest, strangest and noisiest land going vehicle ever devised by man… and is hereby adjudged to be a qualified driver…". Presented to Bill (with an original inset black and white photo of him) by the Bendix Launch Support Division at the Kennedy Space Center, this certificate hand-signed by the General Manager of the Division.
The certificate and mat are extensively toned from when the consignor lived in Hawaii, but who cares - when was the last time you even saw such a certificate - and this one is No. 7 to boot. A great piece of fun memorabilia sure to add interest to any collection.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
Ex. the comedian Bill Dana/Jose Jimenez collection.
