I've recently bought a few Skylab spacesuit fit check covers from eBay, cancelled at Dover, Delaware on the appropriate date.

Were there any other Mercury, Gemini, Apollo era spacesuit fit check covers?

Back in the early 70s I did acquire quite a number of different Skylab astronaut spacesuit fit-check covers from Dover, DE.

I also had most, if not all, signed by the designated astronauts being commemorated.

Those that I can find at the moment (all from 1972) are: 9-22-72 Kerwin, 9-28 Weitz, 10-19 Lousma, 10-25 Carr, 11-7 Pogue, and 11-14 was Gibson. I may have others for Conrad, Bean, Garriott, and possibly even a few for Skylab backup crew members.

Thanks for all the replies, looking forward to hearing your info John.

I believe that some (maybe all?) of the covers came from an ILC employee Peter Halewski; a signed Brand fit-check cover recently on eBay included a COA from him.
