FLOWN Skylab 1 NASA Patch

Flown NASA ‘meatball’ insignia patch, taken from one of Weitz’s tan in-flight jackets worn on board Skylab in 1973. Beta cloth patch measures 3.75 x 3.75, and is signed on the reverse on the tan Durette material, “Flown on Sky lab I, from my personal collection. Paul Weitz, Plt.” Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Weitz stating “Worn crew clothing was routinely disposed of after several days use. Prior to disposal into the large aft waste tank, I removed this emblem from my jacket.”
