Guest Blogger Hugh sends us this great article about the small rocket launcher premiums we all had as kids! Great to shed a little light on the subject!
Photos reading top to bottom:
R1 - Rocket launchers as issued by Kellogg's, Kleeware/Tudor Rose (in the UK) and others (abroad).
R2 - Similar rocket issued by Unimel in France/Belgium (?) as a product incentive/premium.
R3 - Manurba (Manfred Urban) in Germany used the same design for their military rocket. Both the rocket and the base were marked 'W.GERMANY', the rocket can be removed and becomes a stand-alone unit like the others.
R4 - Comparison shot between the various rockets.
R5 - The Rocket launcher from the Marx Mystery Spaceship, different design, same idea.
Wotan writes - I had a boxed set with a long thin submarine in and about six of the 'kellogs' style launchers in it. It came with loads of multi coloured missiles too. Ive since seen a similar loose sub on ebay, but never a set like that. Anyone got any ideas ?
