Joe K. Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 As seen in this 1959 General Merchandise Company Christmas Gifts catalog: Not exactly the one on the left, nor the one on the right. A catalog photo version, most likely. Looks to be a photo of an actual toy. Wonder where is it today? The BIN catalog listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-GENERAL-MERCHANDISE-COMPANY-CHRISTMAS-Catalog-TOYS-Milwaukee/274083463294?hash=item3fd0a5c07e:g:x4AAAOSwJ9VdwbQh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I wonder if it's the one Pat Karris had? Wasn't there at least one more - the one with the box? Was it space commander, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morbius Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Found it listed by an auction house a few years back on ebay. We generally figure it likely was a salesman's sample of sorts. Only a handful accounted for so far like 3 or 4 with only 2 boxes from what I'd heard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 That's it - at first thought to be a prototype - a few examples have popped up - perhaps a salesman sample or a rare short run first version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I'd buy that for a dollar ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalRobotHead Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Hmmmm, $8,500 + 22% buyers premium, must be rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
