Description :

A pair of terrific pop-up rockets from Hungary that are perfect display specimens.

“Interkosmos” CCCP rocket made by Hungarian manufacturer Gyor circa 1960s. This tin pop-up rocket has Cyrillic labeling, a wonderful gold fuselage and red/blue highlights/fins. When the nose portion hits the wall, it pops up on end and a ladder drops from the rocket exposing a spaceman ready to descend it. The friction still works – in fact almost a little too enthusiastically. When revved up and the nose hits the wall, it stands up very quickly; usually so fast that it pops over backwards onto the ground. Perhaps its new owner can fix this or will just use it for display – the stunning gold is really unusual for a tin toy. Cosmetically, it’s in extremely good condition for its age – it hasn’t seen much use. Approx. 15.5” L

“Holdraketa” rocket made by Hungarian manufacturer Gyor circa 1960s. This tin pop-up rocket has a grey fuselage with yellow, red, and blue detailing. When the nose portion hits the wall, it VERY slowly rises up on end to just a hair short of vertical. Unfortunately, because it doesn’t go completely vertical, the ladder that exposes the astronaut doesn’t drop down by itself. Just a hair more lift would release the ladder, it appears. Cosmetically in good condition showing use over the years, but nothing egregious. Approx. 15.5” L
