Hi,
Can anyone help?
I have a box set of 20 12"x12" moonlanding photos and written description in a souvenir box. The first page is autographed (Real or photocopied I dont know) by Aldrin, Collins and Armstrong.
I cant seem to find any info from Omega, who produced the boxset as a gift to their 'friends'.
I would like to know how many were made and who they where given to etc.
Thanks, Pip

I have an Omega Souvenir Box containing 20 photos from Gemini and Apollo. It comes with the printed signatures of the crew on the first page. The outside of the box is printed to look like the moon's surface.

It is my understanding that these were sent to the Omega retailers who sold the Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch. There must have been quite a few made and they do turn up on ebay.

Hope that helps.

Regards, Ian from Oz
