Long Description
Coca Cola Company Foods Division 3 lb. sealed can of Butternut coffee, signed by three American astronauts: Tom Stafford, Al Worden and Gene Cernan. The can's lithographed artwork depicts missions in all three U.S. Space Programs: Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Mr. Stafford is mentioned in one scene, and he signed nearby. He and Gene Cernan represent both Gemini and Apollo, while Worden represents Apollo. Mr. Cernan was the last man to have walked on the Moon, so this sealed can represents the entire Apollo Mission, Alpha-Omega.
History
Bought sealed and took to Cape Canaveral to have signed. Never opened/sealed condition but not in mint condition, as there are several scattered minuscule nicks in the lithographed artwork not noticeable in the pictures. Other than these, the item is in mint condition. No dents or scratches.
