Item Description
Scarcer version with aluminum rather than brass base. Base has word "Flying" on one side above atomic symbol with stars while the other side has the word "Saucer." This side shows tiny spaceship also accented by stars. Attached at top is a launching spinner and an original string. There is a 2" dia. aluminum "Flying Saucer" disc which fits on a post on the ring top. When the string is pulled the saucer launches rapidly into the air. The string needs to be wound tight for flying action to function properly. Saucer underside glows intensely after light exposure. Red paint on the spinner on the ring top is near 100% complete but has very minor dent about .5" long near outer edge. Fine example and scarce variety.
