There were six different boxed balsa wood models issued by Buck Rogers Co. of Chicago, IL in 1934; both sold in stores and offered as premiums. Offered here is single 3x7x2.5" deep nicely illustrated cardboard box w/"Battle Cruiser #1" ship name stamped on front panel. Box includes illustrations of all six ships as well as Buck Rogers portrait. Box has even lt. aging but colors remaining bright and clean and box is o/w Exc. and as nice as these come. Comes w/complete and unused parts - three balsa wood pieces and three wooden rods for assembly of the ship model. One is 6" long main body section while the others are two different sized blocks. Four 2" tall original but generic glass vials w/cork stoppers; three of which originally contained paint (fourth contained glue) although all have hardened/dried out w/age. Comes w/sheet of sandpaper as issued w/each model. Aside from paints, parts are unused and NM. Also included is 11x17" instruction sheet w/choice graphics on front showing six different rocketships that has illustrated instructions on reverse for building "Battle Cruiser BC77Y" model; instruction sheets were specific to models. Folded as issued, sheet has some bleed-through of red color onto back, but front remains nice for display. Scattered lt. wear but would look great framed. These models are rare in any condition, let alone complete and in this high grade condition, the nicest example we've offered in our 49 years.
