Author	Topic: History behind Little Joe 2 rocket lucite?
bklyn55 Member Posts: 361 From: Milford, CT Registered: Dec 2014	posted 07-14-2017 02:18 PM I was able to pick up this little (about 2 by 2 by 2 inch) lucite cube commemorating the Little Joe 2 for a decent price (in my opinion). Never seen one before so I was wondering if anyone else has? Says it was made for NASA by General Dynamics/Convair.
