Description

A University of Cincinnati reunion wish gift—"the signature of the first man to walk on the moon!"

Extremely rare full ballpoint signature, “Neil Armstrong, 26 Oct. 1979,” offered as a ‘wish gift’ for an attendee of the 40th Reunion for the University of Cincinnati Class of 1939. The autograph is penned on an off-white 6.5 x 9.75 sheet with a typed message: “In lieu of a trip to the moon as you wished, the committee has obtained for you, the next best thing, the signature of the first man to walk on the moon!” Armstrong has signed his name and added the date below, which correlates with the 10th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and Armstrong’s last full year as a professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. In fine condition. Includes event-related ephemera, such as the reunion program and invitation, and the original Ali Baba presentation card that delivered the Armstrong signature. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA.
