FWIW, an original was in a box of other rocketry items that sold on e-bay last week.....Went for $114. Granted, there were some other collectibles in the mix.

The son of the original designer only had about 25 originals in the boxes for sale. Apparently, with such a demand, he is looking into producing more.

Good going Gus, I find this very interesting. Sent a PM to him, with no reply????????

Mitchell Gornik (1972) patent #3,805,355 The original designer.

I've got a few of them here, but not sealed.
