MA-6, 1962, McDonnell "Lucite" Paperweight (3x.6") This clear, round, crudely molded lucite paperweight is marked "McDonnell / 20 February 1962" and contains a 4c Project Mercury stamp. The stamp is marked on the reverse: "Issued on Successful Completion of 3 World Orbits by Lt. Col. John H. Glenn, Jr." This is the first time we have seen this paperweight in over 30 years of handling memorabilia. That must say something about the rarity of this piece. Minor faults, but a great classic piece of memorabilia.
Estimated Value $250 - 350,
