Among the items issued to astronauts are velcro-backed leather name tags that can be attached to flight suits. This name tag is a spare for Shuttle astronaut John E. Blaha, who was the pilot for STS-29 and STS-33 and commander of STS-43 and STS-58; he also spent almost four months aboard Mir, flying to and from the Russian space station on STS-79 and STS-81.

NASA transferred a number of spare astronaut name tags to the Museum over the years, including this one in 2001.
