Thanks, Brady. This is a formidable catalog. I wonder if we can reverse-engineer a date by locating products in the timeline? Gemini 7 was launched in 1965 but the Batman pieces put it at 1966 or later.

Yes, it's unfortunate that there was no date to be found, but 1960's just seemed correct, of course, that does cover a decade. I agree, however, it would be mid to late 60's.

 

It's interesting to note how complex some of the kits actually were, the description for the Gemini 7 states...

"Gemini-7  Kit No. 720

Forward release lever releases astronaut for a walk in space. Lever at base releases capsule. Dashboard lights up, blinks."

Not bad for an 8.5 inch model.
