I can't find any info on this piece. You can just about make out the word "Disneyland" on the side of the illustration. I'm thinking maybe this was manufactured in conjunction with the TWA Rocket that was at Disneyland at the time. Does anyone else know anything more about it?

The same toy also turns up in the 1955 Montgomery Ward Christmas catalog. See the next post.
