Flown swatch of gray tape from the Skylab Space Station, affixed to a 5.5 x 3.5 certificate of authenticity signed by Skylab pilot Bill Pogue, who also initials the swatch itself. The certificate reads, in part: “I certify that this piece of tape initialed by me…is from the Skylab Space Station. The tape was used to seal our food ‘overcans.’ Each overcan was approximately 15″ long and contained about ten flip-top cans. We saved all this tape and used it for a variety of jobs on Skylab. The tape was aboard Skylab from May 14, 1973 to February 8, 1974 over 100 million miles in space.” Double-matted and framed with an image of the space station to an overall size of 10 x 13. In fine condition. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
