Those are extraordinarily dangerous! Ship them to me ASAP for proper disposal! Mario |

You might know this, but: This wasn't wadding they were talking about. Way early on, parachutes were protected by a sort of folded paper cup with long "legs" that formed the sides. Plain paper, from everything I've read. Ah, you can see them in one of the pictures, lower right side. The diagram printed on the outside sheet shows an assembled protector. By the early '60s wadding replaced protectors. |

The box I have (white with plain green printing) was probably from 1959, according to Vern (due to original type of casing tubes).
The fancier printing on your box was probably used from 1960 through at least 1964, as I've seen a Model Missiles ad in a 1964 Boys Life with that design

Roy, Will you snap some pics and post them on this thread? I tried to do some research before posting here and I came up with zero photos of the old boxes. I'm on my way out of town (to the Capitol Cup) but when I get back I will post scans of all the paperwork inside the box. Steve |

Gus, could you photo the little blue strip of paper and the parachute protector?
