Space Docking Set & String Climbing LEM

Recommended Posts

From a 1970 Montgomery Ward catalog comes this Mini-Space Docking Set:

and a string climbing Lunar Module:

Before adding these two to the Timeline, I'd like a little more info about them. Manufacturer? Box? True name?

Thanks!

And another mystery solved (for the most part):

These Smith House auction photos confirm that the string climbing lunar module is actually called Action Model LM "EAGLE" and was imported by

Frankonia. But, who exactly was the Japanese manufacturer?
