Description :

Desktop model of Pershing surface-to-surface Missile Launching System – we think this is by TAPCO. White plastic missile with black decals/details and an orange nose. Mounted on a green wheeled trolley that allows the missile to stand upright – these missiles were used extensively in the 1960s/1970s. Missile does NOT detach from the “Martin” labeled trolley. Missile measures 13” H not including trolley height which adds another 1.5”. Trolley measures 9” L. In very good shape for its age -  no noticeable flaws other than slight rub on fins (see last photo), but a good scrub would probably enhance the piece greatly.

Book: RAISE HEAVEN & EARTH – THE STORY OF MARTIN MARIETTA PEOPLE AND THEIR PIONEERING ACHIEVEMENTS by William Harwood. Hardcover dustjacket/plastic protector. 1993, 1st edition, Simon & Schuster (New York NY) 656 pages & fold-out. Condition is excellent; appears to have been read once or never at all.
