These Kapton tape segments were cut from all 11 flown manned Apollo spacecraft. They were acquired from Dick Williamson with NASA's Recovery Team and from Ken Havekotte of Space Coast Cover Service, as well as from the collection of a former Rockwell employee. Most of the Kapton polymide tape burned away during reentry but what survived was often peeled off and kept by members of NASA's recovery crews as a souvenir of the historic Apollo mission they helped rescue.
