1964 JET ROCKET SPACE SHIP


Recently, a 1964 Jet Rocket Space Ship by Honor House was offered on ebay for $1500. Like its tank and submarine counterparts, the rocket is made up of cardboard pieces. This is the first time I've seen this particular "checker board" design in real life and it's also the first time I've seen one of these in unused and unassembled. The auction has ended, but I grabbed the photos for posterity.

    What a wonderful find! I remember this spaceship from early-childhood comic book reading.

    Thank you for posting the photos and instructions. It would be interesting to "clone" the spaceship. It probably wouldn't take THAT much work or time.
