DescriptionThis round, silver-plated tray features an intricate pierced border along its raised rim and a smooth reflective surface. At the center, an engraved emblem depicts a stylized structure with a conical top crowned by a star, supported by three pillars within a circular base. Surrounding the emblem, engraved text and imagery forms a ring with mission patch design and "Buzz Aldrin," along with other astronauts and their wives with only their first names mentioned, arranged evenly around the central design. The tray exhibits signs of wear, including tarnishing and scratches, particularly near the lower left quadrant.
