Vintage circa 1969 felt tip and ballpoint signatures of 25 astronauts on a 16 x 16 sheet, including: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, Alan Bean, Charles Conrad, Richard Gordon, James Lovell, Jack Swigert, Fred Haise, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, Stu Roosa, Dave Scott, Jim Irwin, Al Worden, John Young, Charlie Duke, Ken Mattingly, Gene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, Ron Evans, Gordon Cooper, Don Lind, Joe Engle, and Vance Brand. The signatures are dated between November 1968 and June 1970, with the majority from 1969; the Apollo 11 signatures date to February 1969, five months before their historic mission. The scrapbook page is hand-embellished with a header and sketch of Snoopy riding an Apollo spacecraft. In very good condition, with some scattered staining (primarily from toned adhesive to reverse). These autographs were obtained by a longtime employee of ILC Industries in Dover, Delaware, which has developed space suits for NASA since the Apollo era. Featuring the complete crew of every planned lunar landing-Apollo 11 through 17-this is a remarkable compilation of vintage signatures from the period of these historic missions.
