Archers at the Ready

Dear Woodsy,
I thought you might like to see this: http://www.htspweb.co.uk/fandf/romart/het/fanart.htm
 
 
The Christmas 1953 issue of "Space Times" has a drawing of the Archer spacemen and a "Rocket Bank" that I had as a boy!

    I now have many of the Archer Spacemen but haven't yet latched on to my childhood rocket bank. It was made by Astro in 1957: here's a link to a current fleabay sale to show what it looks like:

    They tend to get a little pricey when they're complete with rubber nose cone and rubber tips for the feet.

    Hi Grif

    The Rocket Bank design is one of my absolute favourites. Try searching the Blog by term Fosta to see a couple in case you missed them before.

    Cheers Arto
