Two flown relic displays: a flown fragment of a Skylab oxygen supply tank recovered in Western Australia after the space station's fiery reentry in 1979, approximately 1.5˝ x 1.5˝, encased in a pyramidal 3.25˝ x 4.5˝ x 3.25˝ block of Lucite with a Skylab emblem at the bottom; and a flown thermal tile segment from the Space Shuttle Orbiter 'Columbia' (STS-1) encased in a rectangular 3.75˝ x 2.75˝ x 1˝ block of Lucite with a NASA presentation card, numbered 3648, which reads: "Presented to Nicholas Timacheff, in appreciation of your steadfast support of the Space Shuttle program which helped Columbia's flight become a successful reality." On the reverse, the card reads: "This is a segment of a thermal tile which protected the Space Shuttle Orbiter 'Columbia' (STS-1) from the heat of reentry on its first flight April 12–14, 1981." In overall fine condition.
