I also use my Apollo 11 glass for a sip of rum and Coca Cola. I have NASA Wallops Island, National Air and Space Museum Wright Flyer, Huntsville Rocket Science, and my all time favorite, Rhinebeck Airdrome in my current coffee/tea cup rotation. I have sipped a beer or two from it and it functions perfectly, just like Apollo 16. It's just a classy looking piece of usable space memorabilia, and it looks good on the shelf. It has gold trim and appears to be high quality although I know nothing about ceramics.
#NASA KENNEDY SPACE CENTER BEER MUG PATCH#
One of my favorite pieces is an Apollo 16 porcelain beer mug with just the patch emblem on it. I just did a quick count of what I can see on my office wall and came up with 90 different cups, mugs, steins, shot glasses etc. Another, which either is in storage or is "somewhere" is a mug that was issued for the then-forthcoming first shuttle flight from Vandenberg AFB.
One is a mug with the space shuttle Enterprise Approach and Landing Test program emblem on front and the name of Ozzie Reid's wife on back. I have two items I picked up, although it's not my main interest. That (non-space fan) was not all that impressed. I once had Buzz sign one of the Apollo 11 Wedgwood plates as a gift for someone. I have a few glasses, shot glasses, mugs, and plates. One is an Al Worden stein with the inscription, "Let me assure you that at no time during my 75 lunar orbits did I see a Bavarian behind the moon." I also have one of Buzz Aldrin's Air Force mugs. I don't have many in my collection, but there are a few mugs that I felt inclined to acquire. And meals are tastier when served on a space-themed plate too! Space & Rocket Center, or a vintage ascent/entry mug from mission control. Special drinks go into a space mug - maybe one from the U.S. I love the inexpensive Apollo glasses found on eBay and use those for my everyday drinking. Just wondering how many others there are in the space collecting community. I'm still unpacking my space stuff and trying to make some order of it all, so I'm not really sure how much I have or where any holes are - so don't ask for any stats right now. Topic: Collecting space mugs and glasswareĪre there any others out there that have the same passion for collecting space mugs and glasses? The bulk of my drinkware items are the coffee mugs.
