Astronaut space food display used for NASA's Apollo moon program. Case was originally created at Milprint, the packaging company which made the flight ready items for NASA. Display features the astronauts' freeze dried food in clear plastic, consisting of four pouches of tuna salad, cream of tomato soup, orange drink with feeding tubes, two smaller packages of cheese cracker cubes and strawberry cereal cubes. The display also includes the image of an astronaut eating one of the pouches. Reads in part ''...Feeding America's Astronauts - Apollo...'' Housed in a wooden and silver display case, measuring 30'' x 20'' x 3''. All the pouches have come loose from the backing, with one tube having lost its seal and nearly evaporated. An interesting collection of 1960's gourmet as envisioned by NASA.
