Description

Black Astro cap gifted by moonwalker Neil Armstrong to actor Charles Nelson Reilly when the two men were guests on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in the mid-1970s, one size fits all with Velcro strap, with embroidered "Apollo" patch on crown, and bill featuring gold oak leaf embellishments. In very good to fine condition, with expected signs of wear. Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Reilly, in full: "This is to verify the fact that the Apollo Cap that is owned by my friend, J. T. Sutherland was given to me by Neil Armstrong when we were both guests on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It was probably about 20 years ago. He gave it to me on the air and thus is documented on tape."
