An original 34.5 X 27cm heavy card restriced access sign from the inner security perimeter of the Apollo 11 launch site at the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida (July, 1969). Evenly-yellowed surfaces with bold clear red and blue lettering: "LAUNCH PERSONNEL ONLY / BEYOND THIS POINT! / APOLLO 11 / LAUNCH SITE / NATIONAL AERONAUTICS & SPACE ADMINISTRATION / (NASA)". With small 19mm round indentations at center top and bottom from having been affixed to a surface by pins; overall in excellent condition with no creases and minor light surface-damage confined to very top margin. From the extensive aviation collection of a retired air-traffic controller, and an exceptionally scarce original artifact from the site of the world's first manned visit to the surface of the moon. Worthy of some enthusiastic bidding
