Apollo Intravehicular Glove designed by ILC Dover for Edgar Mitchell, which was likely produced for Mitchell’s role as the backup lunar module pilot for the Apollo 16 mission. The glove features a wrist opening diameter of 3.5″, stands approximately 11″ in height, and is constructed of a rubber/neoprene-compound bladder, dip molded from a cast of Mitchell's hand; the backside of the hand near wrist section features a sewn-on name patch labeled "Mitchell." The interior has an inner core of nylon tricot, with a convoluted wrist section for ease of movement and a red anodized aluminum connector for attachment to the space suit. A fingerless glove restraint designed to maintain the glove's shape is attached to the bladder at the wrist and encloses the entire hand excluding the fingers and thumb. Printed part numbers to inner nylon reads: "Part No: A7LB - 1010 1.02, Size: E. Mitchell, Serial No: DVT-001, Code: 74897, ILC Industries, Inc." In fine condition, with expected signs of wear. A museum-quality display piece made specifically for Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon.
