"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Rare 6'' x 4'' American flag flown to the moon on the Apollo 16 mission, with signatures of all three crew-members: ''John Young'', ''Tom Mattingly'' and ''Charlie Duke''. Signatures and an inscription (likely by Mattingly) appear on the presentation document upon which the flag is affixed. Inscription on left reads: ''Sam -- Thanks for keeping our gym in such good shape. We sincerely appreciate it.'' The framed NASA presentation includes a printed header reading: ''This flag was carried to the moon by the crew of Apollo 16'', the nylon flag at center and official Apollo 16 insignias at bottom. Framed to an overall size of 18.5'' x 15.5''. Very faint showthrough of glue to flag's corners, else near fine.
