Saw this on an auction site. I thought the rocket backing art was unusual.
It appears to be an illustration of what I call the holdraketa I call it this as it was one of the first collectables I got as an adult collector. I picked one up boxed at an evening toy fair. It was tinplate and from Hungary. The tin nose spike triggered a spring -loaded lever, which raised the rocket upright and a small ladder flopped down. Pretty neat all round.
The small grey plastic rockets are small replicas of my holdraketa as well.
The rocket pistol was made by Jean of West Germany.
Here's my tinplate silver holdraketa stood up next to my SWORD annual in my old collection.
Do you have one?
What's their origin?
