I don't remember the exact prices, but I think they ranged from ~ $50 - $75. There were something like 8 boxes, and the prices went up as the auction went on. Estes donated mystery boxes to last year's auction, too. I think the prices were similar. |

I know Centuri made one but don't think Estes ever did. Hopefully, it's of a future Estes kit.

John Boren said in a previous message here on the forum that the boxes each contained an old Centuri Nike Smoke nose cone.
(or maybe he said that at the Manufacturers Forum at NARAM 53... I'm a little foggy about that )

If you recall, Damon bought Centuri around '83. The companies were one in the same then. That's why there were a number of Estes kits in the 80's that used old Centuri parts.

I think Damon bought Centuri in 1976. They bought Estes in 1969. It was the early 80's before we started seeing parts/kits crossing over, though.

Sorry, I got the dates mixed up. I was thinking of Centuri's last catalog.

Actually Damon bought Centuri not all that long after buying Estes. By 1971 at the latest.
That fact, of course, was not well known for many years.
