Also, does anyone know if similar pins were made for the other Apollo missions after Apollo 11? I've found ones for the rest of the Mercury 7, but the only ones for the other Apollo missions I've found were of the insignias, not the political badge kind of look that mine have. <P>Any info you could share would be much appreciated! — Tom Diamond<P><center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/crazycatguy42/mercury_apollo_pins01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/crazycatguy42/mercury_apollo_pins01.jpg" width="400" height="300" border="0"></a></center></FONT></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica">Robert Pearlman</FONT></TD><TD><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica">Others can likely help you with make and history, but here are two earlier threads discussing and sharing similar buttons from the same era: <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI><A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/000868.html">Mercury and Gemini-era lapel pins and buttons</A><BR><LI><A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/000584.html">Mercury through ASTP-era pinback buttons</A></UL></FONT></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica">crazycatguy42</FONT></TD><TD><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica">I was wondering if anyone knows of any souvenir pins that were made for Apollo missions post Apollo 11?
