gernot Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 …another special Space Toy added to the collection: „Mondrakete - Sky Rocket“, made by Günthermann, Germany, early 50s. Super rare second version, wind-up with front propeller and rear fin made of transparent plastic. Same box and same shape of the rocket as the more common version with the parachute astronaut and the metal rope. However this version came with a wooden stick with a hook and cord to hold the rocket in the hand for playing. It might not have been that popular as the rocket does not move much while the propeller is turning, just creates lots of wind. This is the first time I saw this toy complete with the wooden stick and without any crack in the plastic parts. Now around 70 years old but still amazing. Box graphics are stunning. Simply wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunik Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Well, I‘m a lazy collector, so I have never seen this at all, not even by chance. All complete with stick and hook. Phantastic, Gernot. Like with the other version, it looks tricky to get every part stored back in that narrow box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
