Author	Topic: Collectibility, value of Orbital model rockets
jfs2 Member Posts: 312 From: Flagstaff, Arizona Registered: Aug 2012	posted 07-23-2024 10:21 AM Can anyone suggest a good site to go to research some older desktop rocket model presentations from the Orbital company? I just picked up two very nice models (Taurus and one I haven't identified yet). I'm not a model collector but I'd like to get an idea of collectibility and value for the two. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know Toys and Models (now absorbed by Daron?) were making models for them at a point in time and had a miscue on the configuration in which they were supposed to scrap. Not sure if these were them.

No stamp on the base but does have a Skunk logo and Tom Darone on the base of the rocket. The smaller model has "Toys and Model Corporation" made in the Phillippines the bottom of the base.
