Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by MikeSpace: [B]Just acquired this lucite [?] that is shaped like the Apollo 8 Command Module, with a piece of the heat shield embedded. I googled but only saw one that was similar. Has a chip and some missing paint, but a nice large piece of heat shield. North American Rockwell contractor's gift/commemorative piece? I'm clueless. Any information on this is appreciated. I have two photos [URL=http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikeblackphotos/sets/72157629477293930/]here[/URL].[/B][/QUOTE]
