Alan Bean’s Apollo astronaut emblem, .75˝ x .75˝, attested as having been flown into lunar orbit aboard the Command Module Yankee Clipper during the Apollo 12 mission. The small emblem, which depicts an astronaut with an orange visor carrying the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP), is attached to a tie clip that measures 1.25˝ x .25˝. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Amy Bean, the daughter of Alan Bean, who attests to the emblem's flown status as part of the Apollo 12 mission. This lot mirrors another Bean-owned ‘Astronaut with ALSEP’ tie clip emblem that was flown to the moon during Apollo 12 and sold by RR Auction in 2016.
