Description

Well-preserved Topping model of an Improved Thor rocket

Rare vintage model of a medium-size Improved Thor rocket made by Topping Models, standing 18.25″ tall, set on a 4.5″ diameter base with affixed plate. In fine condition, with trivial marks. From the personal collection of Charlie Dry, a former Apollo test astronaut and research engineer and senior scientific analyst at NASA. An exceptional vintage rocket—presumably of the Thor-ISS—that represents the essence and power of the early aeronautics industry.

Due to the size, weight, and/or fragile nature of this item, we ask that you call RR Auction for a shipping quote.
