A 12-point socket head 2" long inconel bolt typically used in

cachet in blue dated Jan 25,1975, aboard Prime Recovery Ship

1990s SPACE SUIT GLOVE MATERIAL FOR
EVA SHARP EDGE TESTING .............................. PH $200-300
Two sections (2x6") of space glove material used to test for
resistance to sharp edges – contacts that may occur during an
EVA. If a dent or grove appeared during a check, then the
offending item was replaced or covered with a protective
sealant. Very interesting item.
Shuttle tile (6x6x1½”) supposedly flown on Discovery but with
no direct verification. RTV present on the bottom and chipped
along some edges. Also includes two demo tiles (2½x2½x2").
