Howdy Rick!
Welcome!

The book "Blast Off" would have some fun stuff for you.    
It isn't focused only on Archer, but it's claim is to cover "rockets, robots, ray guns, and rarities from the Golden Age of space toys".

The book does cover Archer toys fairly well.   Toys, adverts, examples of inspiration, etc...
I'm not sure if there are better "Archer" sources (aside from the AD).    

If there is a better source, someone will add on here.
Here are a few of the pages from the book.

Apologies if you get a sore neck, lol.
I tried to rotate the images, but it failed.

Thanks for your welcome and your answer to my question. It's very appreciated.

 

Wow! This book is great! I'm going to buy it.

 

The world of space toys is fascinating. I'm just starting to explore it seriously. As a child in the 1970s, I had a few igures and space guns. It’s a rediscovery on a larger scale.
