Lot 504
ASTP, 1975, Deke Slayton's Red-Brown Leather "Chaps". A beautiful pair of thick leather chaps that appear to be in excellent, and well used, condition. There is a black hand stamp inside each leg that reads: "Russ Taylor, 1220 5th St, Cody, Wyoming". These chaps appear to have all the requisite bells and whistles including zippers and fringe on each leg and even a pocket on left leg. We probably wouldn't have run these chaps in the sale, but having belonged to Deke would seem to indicate he wore them extensively on his hunting/fishing trips and may have even worn them on his visit to LBJ's ranch when he was presented with a "Stetson" hat (see elsewhere in this sale). An interesting piece of "space memorabilia.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
Ex. the astronaut Donald K. "Deke" Slayton Family collection.
