Metal fire extinguisher nozzle used during Skylab crew training, 4.75 x 1.75, unflown, with small wire tether and sliding nut engraved with part numbers: "Crawford-Pat'd-Swagelok-316." Includes three small washers. In fine condition. Accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity from retired NASA Subsystems Manager Robert Stuckey, in full: "When launched, the Skylab Module carried several Fire Extinguishers similar to those carried in the Apollo Command Module.

Enclosed is an unflown Skylab Fire Extinguisher Nozzle used during Crew Training."
