A Word from Our Sponsor: "THE MOST AMAZING SPACE KIT IN THE UNIVERSE!" (1953)


After I posted this ad to the Facebook group Retro Rockets, member William R. Polan kindly added these swell photos. Some of the items listed are sort of identifiable, others not so much. Gotta admit I'm a little disappointed by the the "Astra Space Beauties." But hey, what could you expect for a buck (even a 1953 buck)?

    They look like candy. I can't believe someone went through the expense, minimal though it may be, of making the molds for this stuff.

    The good old days . . . when it was okay for kids to eat toys.

    Gotta love that "realistic space color plastic". They just don't write ads like they used to.
