Larger-than-usual swatch of flown fabric from the backing material of the astronauts' couches inside the Apollo 13 Command Module, measuring approximately 1.5 x 2, encased in a cylindrical 3 x 4.25 piece of lucite bearing an Apollo 13 emblem and certificate of authenticity at the bottom. Text on the bottom reads, in part: "This is a segment of the actual backing restraint material removed from mission commander James A. Lovell's spacecraft couch aboard the Apollo 13 Command Module Odyssey'…Presented by Kansas Cosmosphere & Space Center as a tribute to your participation in the development of Universal Studio's movie production of 'Apollo 13.'" In fine condition. An excellent association between the near-catastrophic mission and its Oscar-winning cinematic adaptation.
