This most likely has no value, but I bought it from a guy for $10. 1 1

I had just discovered a two page Chicago Tribune Ad from 1949 in a bunch of old collectible papers etc. and since I had that, I was attracted to this thing. There’s a bunch on eBay selling for less, but alas, my collector genus kicked in. It is interesting historic and I was two years old at the time.

That's very cool. My opinion is well worth what you paid to own a piece of that history.

It reminded me that I bought another unusual coin about a month ago for $10 also. I guess I just like coins!

That was a cool buy also. I love stuff like that. I enjoy about all coins. Especially ones with a piece of history behind them. I remember that launch. I was just a young feller then.

I remember we watched at school launch. Watched a video.

We moved to our current town in 1986, the day we moved out if our old home, the Challenger disaster occurred. January 26, 1986 I think. But I may be off a day or two.

That was horrible. A terrible deal. I watched a thing on that and they said they was alive all the way until the capsule hit the water at 270 mph.
