ANSA (Argentina): "Lanza Cohetes Sputnik" rocket launcher in - Lot 426
ANSA (Argentina): "Lanza Cohetes Sputnik" rocket launcher in lithographed sheet metal, with its plastic missile, spring mechanism, in original box (faded). Height: 14 cm, width: 18.5 cm, with instructions. 50s/60s, rare.
Taking advantage of the worldwide repercussion generated by the Soviet Sputnik satellites at the end of 1957, the Ansa company introduced its Sputnik rocket launcher. From a small rotating platform, a plastic projectile was launched, producing an explosion on exit. Among the statements printed on its box were "An innovative and modern children's weapon" and "A rocket launcher to combat your children's possible sadness" and again "The complicated secret of 'Sputnik' condensed into a wonderful toy."
