Scope and Content

Diploma covers, including Ohio State University and Manchester College (embossed with name).

Book - "1993, The DuPont Plunkett Awards for Innovation with TEFLON."

Plexiglass covered enlargement of Ruth Plunkett at the Dr. Roy J. Plunkett TEFLON FINISHED Production Unit - see smaller photograph within the collection - perhaps with the European Flouride Centennial 1986 photographs?

Plexiglas enclosed document welcoming Plunkett into the Quarter Century Club of Jackson Laboratory 24 Jun3 1961 with signatures of other members of the group (probably handwritten and probably containing the names of well-known scientists/researchers).

Coin collection - Dutch Mint Set (FDC) 1988 - Muntset Nederland.

Photo album of snapshots taken at the Dr. Roy J. Plunkett Building, Du Pont.  Images of Roy Plunkett appear to be absent.  The individual of honor seems to be a woman dressed in blue.  Perhaps this is Lois Plunkett and the dedication was made after Roy's death? A table nametag DOES identify this as Mrs. Lois Plunkett!

1886-1986, "Century of the Discovery of Fluorine International Symposium Abstracts."

Informational literature for the Tokyo Dome - Big Egg - Korakuen - in one album it appears as if Plunkett and colleagues had pictures taken in front of this structure.
