1960's vintage Space Frontier Rocket Apollo-12 YOSHINO - Japan RARE W/ Box. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.I am providing information I found to research as this is an item coming from my brothers estate sale. He was a vintage toy collector and dealer and I am auctioning off his items to create a scholarship fund for art students. :). He had many rare toys so please keep an eye on my auctions!
This space frontier rocket dates back to 1960’ approx 1969 I think. Yoshino regularly updated this rocket by simply changing the number on the side: 11, 12 and 15 are known. This one is number 12. It comes with the box but please see the pictures of the boxes very worn. I am working with an appraiser who is assisting me with this auction so I do not know if the toy functions or works I was advised not to test that feature as it may compromise the integrity and value of the item. The rocket itself is in fantastic shape it doesn’t look like it’s ever been played with but I have no idea. It is a battery operated pump and go action. The rocket stops, the nose cone rotates and finally an astronaut emerges from the top as you can see from the pictures. It takes 2D batteries which are not included. All items are shipped insured thank you!
