Unflown Skylab I Medallion, sterling silver, 1 ½ inches in diameter. Features the crew mission emblem on the obverse, with the mission dates engraved on the reverse. Serial number 72 of the Robbins medallions made for Skylab I. Accompanied by a Typed Letter Signed by Paul Weitz, which describes the medallion, and explains, "the design was executed by the late Kelly Freas, a well-known science fiction illustrator. The Skylab crew emblems designed for the program refer to the first, second, or third mission crews. Charles Conrad, Joe Kerwin, and myself were the first crew, with our mission designation being Skylab I. The SL-1 designation, refers to Skylab space station itself which was launched on a Saturn V rocket. The second launch of the Skylab Program, often seen as SL-2, was the launch that carried us to a 28 day flight aboard the Skylab space station. This medallion has been in my private collection since 1973." Only 50 medallions, serial numbers F1 to F50, were carried on the first Skylab manned mission.
