I meant to mention this in my first reply... At the NARAM auction, Vern Estes offered two or three in a baggie that he said were made at the Denver location (so sometime in 1959 or 1960). Someone paid $220 for them. I paid something like $60-$70 for the box I have. Might be worth it for you to hold on to them until that deep pockets collector comes to town!

Re: Rock-A-Chute motors (engines)-
This collection would gather a bunch of bucks at, say, the NARAM auction.
Personally, I can't bring myself to E-bay items from my collection. I think it only shows that some folks have more money than brains. Others are certainly entitled to disagree, however I think that the 'collector' mentality is just another problem to keep shrinks busy...

Ok, those are definitely Penrose-produced motors. Puts them somewhere between 1961 and 1965, though as I mentioned, Vern told me they made them for Model Missiles up til 1968. That upper row looks older, though on my Estes motors, the green ink has faded faster than the red. Have they been damaged or exposed to humidity?

The familiar Estes "rings on both ends, Vern told me this was a tip if no other information is present.

Except that MRI/MPC also had rings on both ends! In this case the general style -- type face, arrangement of elements, etc -- are a dead giveaway that they are probably mid 60's Estes.
