A couple of weeks ago on
The Model Rocket Building Blog, Chris Michielssen wrote a post containing some pictures of old model rocket stickers that the manufacturers used to send with orders.
I also have a number of these, except most of them are stuck to my old range boxes and are rather battle scarred and weather-worn.
Here are some pix of my range box which I am using now.
During the 30+ years that I was away from rocketry, this served as the around-the-house tool box. Of course, now that I am a BAR, it has returned to being a range box. Most of the stickers on it were put there in 1974-1976. All are from either Estes or AVI. Also on top of the box is a NAR sticker, a well-faded Estes Aerospace club sticker, a flag, and a couple of random Space Shuttle stickers..
Another tool box I used back in the day features more EAC stickers. For many years after rocketry, this box held my electronics tool kit, and is now my fishing tackle box.
Also, I have this notebook with more stickers in the front cover pouch. These well-preserved copies were never used and are still attached to their backing paper.
Love the stickers. I got a bunch of them in an eBay auction many years back. At the time the Estes EAC Viper stickers were the prize of the auction, but when they arrived I found that there were also several NARAM stickers, including a cloth "Spirit of '76" style one, and several of the Estes gimme stickers. I think I may have used one of the NAR stickers on my range notebook case, but only because I'd gotten a ton of them in the lot.
