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 Charles F. Bolden, Jr., who was the pilot for STS 61-C and STS-31 and commander of STS-45 and STS-60.

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