[i]A 14" x 18" Space Shuttle Columbia Commemorative Art Memorabilia - Very Rare piece of the Columbia's first commercial launch. It is Number 3 of only 100 commissioned by Rockwell for a special group of vendors that contributed to the success of its construction and launch. It is in it's original frame and matting. It contains a commissioned signed and numbered piece (3 of 100) by W. Scott depicting the Columbia in it's landing configuration. Just under the Shuttle Columbia is the actual shoulder patch (LB STS-2) worn by the astronauts during this mission, and was carried into space along with other commemorative items. The second piece is the actual Post Card dated on the day of the launch (however it was never actually mailed). The card contains a picture of the launch done in 'Silk' Cachet and bordered by a gold embossed frame. It also has two stamps, now collectors items themselves. One is 'Probing the Planets' and the other is 'Freedom to Speak Out - A Root of Democracy'. This was received at a 'Congratulations To a Successful Launch' Dinner hosted by Rockwell several weeks after the launch.[/i]
