Among the items issued to astronauts were velcro-backed leather name tags that could be attached to flight suits and jackets. This name tag was a spare for astronaut Andrew Allen, who logged over 900 hours on the Space Shuttle. He was the pilot on STS-46 (1992) and STS-62 (1994), and was mission commander on STS-75 (1996). The gold wings insignia with anchor and crest denotes a Navy or Marine Corps pilot astronaut.

NASA transferred a number of spare astronaut name tags to the Museum over the years, including this one in 2012.
