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.
