Vintage Space Toys from the Children's Museum

After the war, Space travel was becoming more popular and seemed more possible. The serials of the '30s were popular, such as Flash Gordon, and were the basis of various themed toys. Once manufacturing production could be shifted away from munitions, toy production was resumed and expanded to deal with the baby boom. These are part of the collection at the Children's Museum.
