Space Art: Wyandotte Fly Over

With an alien landscape culled from the Internet, I overlaid my Wyandotte '30s era spaceship and voila' - we have a nice flyover image! Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

 Got bored - playing on computer again!

(I'll probably post more boredom pics this week)

Space Toy Jamboree

While waiting to get our computer back I was going through a bunch of photos on the laptop and thought I'd post some random pics - getting a lot of use out of that space display base made last year. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

Wyandotte 1930s Buck Rogers Space Ship

Today we have a really cool vintage space ship. Not just a modern toy with vintage styling but a vintage toy with vintage styling - the Wyandotte Buck Rogers Space Ship from the 1930s. Unfortunately that's all I know about it. Every time I see this offered on fleaBay it's referred to as a Buck Rogers Space Ship, not Flash Gordon. The styling is most definitely 1930s and Wyandotte at the time was known for its sturdy pressed steel toys. Later they would have some nice tin-litho offerings but pressed steel was their forte'. It measures 6 1/4" (15.9cm) L x 2 1/2" (6.4cm) H x 2 1/2" (6.4cm) W and has three revolving wheels in a tricycle gear arrangement. It's a terrific addition to any vintage space fleet! Enjoy!

Here's the Wyandotte space ship next to one of the Gear Box Buck Rogers space ships.

The diorama would have looked a lot cooler with some vintage spacemen but I didn't feel like hunting for them in The Cave :-)
