Description :

1950s Tin litho Two-Stage Earth Satellite toy from Linemar of Japan circa 1950s.

Terrific orange-red & cream rocket ship with black trim and silver lettering. Comes with original winding station launch pad that still works and sends the rocket on its way across the floor. Unfortunately, the two sections of the rocket itself don’t break apart  on their own as they originally did – new owner may want to work on separating mechanism. We also read that it used to have a siren, alas, no sound here but the winding. In vintage used condition – this toy has been well-loved and shows heavy wear on the launching station – a bit less so on the rocket itself. A good scrub would make this toy shine – some of what appear to be surface flaws may actually be dust/dirt from storage for so many years. Rocket alone measures 8.5” L.  

These appear to be hard to find! Here's one that was sold in 2012:
