Description

Limited edition replica metal Apollo 12 lunar plaque from the personal collection of moonwalker Alan Bean, 9 x 7.5, which reads “Apollo 12, November 1969,” and features facsimile signatures of astronauts Charles Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean. This plaque includes a handwritten presentation sheet from longtime NASA employees Farley ‘Wayne’ Stallard and Raul E. ‘Ernie’ Reyes, and Apollo Lunar Surface Journal contributor Ulrich Lotzmann, which reads: “Presented to you on your 70th birthday. To Pete Conrad’s buddy and one of the Apollo 12 moonwalkers…from two of the guys that put you there…and one guy who wished that he could have been part of the Apollo team,” with all three signing below and one adding a sketch of Snoopy to the right side with a speech bubble: “These guys don’t do anything without me!” Affixed to the bottom of the sheet is a certificate of authenticity, numbered 32, which notes that “This replica Apollo XII Lunar Plaque is made to the exact measurements and material as the original plaque.” Stallard, Reyes, and Lotzmann also sign the reverse. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Amy Bean, the daughter of Alan Bean.
