Description

Large, early 1960s NASA-issued educational Apollo CM capsule with original storage box

Vintage 1:10 scale model of an Apollo capsule, used by NASA as part of an outreach program during the 1960s through to the early 1970s. The off-white model measures approximately 19˝ tall and depicts three Apollo astronauts seated inside the capsule with various instrument panels. The capsule is set upon a 14˝ diameter metallic base, and includes its original wooden 17˝ x 20˝ x 17.25˝ storage box. The top of the box features white stenciling, "Apollo 1/10 scale," and a NASA 'meatball' logo sticker. In very good to fine condition, with expected wear from use and storage, and a lever near the feet of the left astronaut detached but present. A highly appealing educational model relating to the exciting early days of space travel—such large vintage Apollo models with intact passengers remain extremely rare and sought-after.
