I keep coming across these cool white plastic missiles in pictures of old carded space sets. They sort of remind me of Probe Force 1 and Thunderbird 3 especially the red-tipped business end. Does anyone know what actually inspired them? Something military?
theyre direct copies of the Marx Missile Launcher:
