Joe K. Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (Topic Split - ed)If my memory serves me correctly, this is the first catalogue sighting of any Dan Dare toys. They are all NEW to the Timeline. PALITOY-TOY-TRADE-SHOP-CATALGUE-1956 These two pages show the Cosmic Ray Gun (on the left) and the Spacetracer Compass (on the right). Below are enlarged images.http://www.deadzoom.com/member/petericedotcom/auction_cards/palitoy1956_3.jpg The seller also mentions a "Rocket Space Gun" though none is pictured in the listing.

Brian.. Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Browsing through old copies of the Eagle comic I came across reference to the Cosmic Ray Gun as early as 1953. There's an advert for the gun in the Portsmouth Evening News for 27 November 1953. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
