Description

American flag flown to the 'Ocean of Storms' on Apollo 12, originating from the CMP's personal collection

Fantastic mid-size American flag carried to the lunar surface on Apollo 12, 11.5 x 8, affixed to a 14 x 18 presentation mat, signed on the mount in ink by the entire crew, "Charles Conrad, Jr.," "Dick Gordon," and "Alan Bean." Affixed below is a caption, "Sailed with Yankee Clipper and Intrepid to the Ocean of Storms, November 1969." Inset within the mat is a 4˝ 'quarantine' crew patch, as worn on the crew's flight suits within the Mobile Quarantine Facility. In very good to fine condition, with a prominent split to the surface of the mount (not breaking through), affecting neither the artifacts nor the signatures. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by CMP Richard Gordon, in part: "This American flag flew with Conrad, Gordon, and Bean aboard Apollo XII - Yankee Clipper, making the final descent to the Lunar Surface, Ocean of Storms, aboard Intrepid, November 14–24, 1969. It is from my personal collection."
