Description from the seller

HWN (Heinrich Wimmer) - Space Rocket - Germany 1950's

This is a rather rare space rocket featuring a striking, colorful design by HWN. It was manufactured using the same mold as the "Turbojet Bank" model; while the other version is frequently seen, this one is rare.
This version is made without the tin dome found on the front of the other model; instead, it features a lattice structure on top.

Made of lithographed tin, it includes a detail showing a pilot stepping through the doorway. It is designed to produce sparks and retains its original red plastic cover at the rear.
The rocket is in a very good condition. It is friction-powered and functions perfectly.

It bears the HWN trademark and the inscription "Made in Western Germany."
