I got the capsule from Santa for Christmas.. It was 1965 and it came with a recording of John Glenn’s radio comms from Mercury -7 launch etc.

By 1970 it was gone (Goodwill as the recipient I imagine)

Same thing happened to my old Gas (Cox fuel) string controlled airplanes....

Ah, I so wish I had remembered to ask Santa. But the attention span was short in those days.

Some of my best toys went to Goodwill. Frequently before I was done with them. But I blew my Cox car up. I put something other than the standard fuel in it (perhaps Ronsonol? Those years are getting hard to remember.) It did not work well. ;-)
