Sorry that I can't get files directly from my camera to the server from Virginia.
According to G. Harry, it is the earliest Mark I from 1954! Not anything like I imagined with posterboard fins stapled to hardwood stilts, taped to a thick tube (.95" ID x 1.15" OD approx.) with hardwood ring. Nose cone was hollow with seam like blow molded cones, but looked more like injection. This is from the Stine collection at the Smithsonian. Rocket Doctor and I along with Vern and our families were guests of Dr. Bob Craddock for a peek at history. What an experience that was. The original Mark II nose cone was ribbed. The body tube was parallel wound. Shock cord was flat contest rubber and thick cotton glued in the balsa block in the nose cone. A combination of original .5" diameter by 2.25" long hand pressed Carlisle motors were attached together with a ring, more than likely to be an early chad staged set.

Of course I'd buy it anyway if it were re-made as a Retro-Repro.
