Item Description
11x28.5" mock-up card for 26.5" long plastic prototype 1950s space rifle. Fully painted prototype mock-up card features large "Captain Space" name and image of spaceman w/rifle. Additionally, card show three views of the rifle, demonstrating that gun shone three different colored lights - "White Spotter Beam, Red Signal Beam" and "Green Ray Signal." Card also advertises that gun had a "Sonic Buzzer Sound" that was activated by pulling trigger. Small paste-over Marx logo also on card. The actual production gun came boxed, not on a card like this. Card shows obvious wear w/noticeable warping and heavy dust soiling. Lettering at upper right shows some wear and card is VG overall. Rifle prototype is a production piece that has been painted over, w/painted "Solar Scout" logo applied to one side of stock. Nicely detailed scope has "Captain Space Solar Scout Official" recessed text/logo. Gun has some moderate dust soiling/aging and scattered paint nicks/scratches. Fine overall. From the John Bowers Collection.
