Depicted:

Boy's Space Cadet Suit - See Blast Off!, page 201, where the Tom Corbett Space Cadet outfit is identified as being made by a company called Yankiboy. One could reasonably assume that the

Girl's Space Cadet Suit was also made by Yankiboy.

Space Patrol Monorail Train - See Space Adventure Collectibles by T.N. Tumbusch, page 88, item #S1634 where the box for this toy is marked "Toys Of Tomorrow, Ltd. 'For the Children of Today'".

Space Shooting Range - Previously Timeline dated to 1952 from a June 1952 Playthings Trade Ad. Made by the Automatic Toy Company.

Some kind of "Model Craft" molding making set. It may be the Tom Corbett Space Cadet Super Model Craft Molding & Coloring Set made by Kay Stanley. It's listed (but not photographed) in Science Fiction Collectibles by Stuart W. Wells III, page 223.

A space target game.

Tom Corbett Space Cadet 2-Way Phone Set - See Blast Off!, page 144. Made by the Jay V. Zimmerman Company of St. Louis, Mo.

Perhaps a Buck Rogers Sonic Ray gun by Norton-Honer.

And, finally, a wrist watch. Maybe a Tom Corbett Space Cadet tie-in.

Can this photo be enlarged/enhanced to gain more detail?

Joe - I'm working on posting these pics. They are bit maps and the board won't allow bit maps to be uploaded. Does anyone know how to convert a bit map into a JPEG?
