Description :

Blast off into space with these 5 rocket-themed vintage games; these game boards would make terrific backgrounds for display of robots or other space items if you choose not to use them as games:

“Count Down Space Game” from Transogram Gold Medal Toys & Games. Model #3803-100. Nice gameboard, vintage graphic spinner, and 7 of the 8 markers are present. The base for the 8th marker is present, but the cardboard cut-out is missing as are the instructions. New owner will have to track down the rules of the game.

“Leave it to Beaver Rocket to the Moon Space Game” from Hasbro/Hassenfeld Brothers (1959). Model #2635-100. This game is not playable as too many pieces are missing. You would want to own it for display/graphic purposes.

“Men into Space” from Milton-Bradley (1960) Model #4003. Definitely our favorite game in this auction. Love the astronaut looking into space from the lunar surface on the gameboard. Spinner with game rules, board, 16 game pieces and cards – all components are there. This is a great game in both visual allure & condition.

“Blast-Off” from Waddington (1969) Model #407. Simple deep blue board, instruction manual, 4 space modules & matching rockets, thruster cards, die, master control board, and individual control boards. We aren’t sure if something is missing - there are 4 compartments in the blue plastic packaging, but all things mentioned in the rulebook appear to be present. Note that one spinner arm on the master control board is not attached – it is present for the new owner to reattach.

“Earth Satellite Game” from Gabriel (1956) Model #t-453. This game is a very close second to Men into Space in terms of the most appealing of the games in this lot – fabulous period graphics and coloring! Spinner board, game cards, Moon/meteor/asteroid, 4 player pieces, and instruction booklet – all components appear to be there.
