Doug,
Thanks for posting this link.
Not trying to hijack this thread,
I went to the 1969 Sears catalog and found the first real rocket I had, the Vashon Valkyrie 2.
I ordered it from this very catalog.
We couldn't get black powder engines in California then, at the time this seemed like the best alternative.
Even in 1969, $14.99 was a great price for the whole package.
Thanks for the flashback! |
