I am helping my mom clear her cousin's estate and figured this would be a good place to start! I know nothing about space memorabilia so please forgive my ignorance.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the value for this? I imagine it may be rare? Thanks so much!!

(I've posted to a few other groups already, but still no definitive answers about what to do with this or what the value may be.) Her cousin worked for Grumman on and off since the early 80s.

In case it is too small to read it says:

Awarded to AIAA Fellow Thomas J. Kelly

This banner of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics flew 2,836,864 miles in the U.S. Space Shuttle Challenger Mission 41-B February 3- February 11, 1984

I sold an identical display but to a different recipient for just over 400 dollars a couple of years ago.

It could have some historic significance if the Thomas J Kelly to whom the award was given is the same Thomas J Kelly who is considered the father of the LEM.

$350-$500 is probably a good range. 41B was a memorable mission.
