a_c_o (ca. 1964-66 MACtac MR-1 Boeing "Saturn V Apollo Team" decal)

A unique Boeing “SATURN V APOLLO TEAM” decal. Possibly created/released ICW with the construction, rollout, etc., of the SA-500F Facilities Integration Vehicle? The SWAG at the time period is based on the exaggerated LM porch, (partially) round hatch & Astronaut’s space suit (which actually looks pre-‘64 to me).

 

3” x 3”. The gold/brassy colored area exhibits a noticeable sheen & variance in shading when viewed from different angles/lighting conditions.

Now there's apparently this. Note the write-up; "the largest rocket ever built." More like "the largest rocket if/when actually ever built, let alone flown - SAFELY". Although not quite as catchy, it's more accurate. Oh, and the decal is ‘imported’:
