Vintage 1:40 scale model of an Apollo Lunar Module, used by NASA as part of an outreach program during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The model measures approximately 8.5″ tall and is set upon a 12″ diameter wooden base with an affixed plate; bottom of the base bears a "Precise Models, Inc., Elyria, Ohio" stamp, and a felt tip identification number: "M23/1."

The top of the box features a large NASA 'meatball' logo sticker, and three Airborne shipping labels. One side of the box also features a silver label, "Property of NASA, Manned Spacecraft Center, Exhibits Program, Houston, Texas," and a metal ring fastened with a pair of faded green and blue tags.
