This 1971 edition of the Estes Model Rocketry Catalog is one of the earliest that I can recall having as a kid. It is
amazing to look at the prices and see a model like the Gyro that sold for $1.25 then, can fetch well over $75 on an
eBay auction! I managed to find a Saturn V model in a hobby shop in King, NC, in 2005 for only $80; they had two, so
I should have bought both and sold one on eBay. The one I bought was built and can be seen
here. The models that I can remember having are highlighted in
BLUE.
To the left is a photo of me in 1971 with a T-shirt onto which I ironed an "Estes Model Rocketeer" decal. That's
my sister, Tina, to my right. We're standing on the steps to our house in Holly Hill Harbor, Maryland.
