Midgetoy's "Buck Rogers" Diecast Spaceship (c.1947)

Midgetoy, a Rockford, Il. company, started producing these dime store 3 1/2 inch diecast wonders in 1947. This example has no cut windows on the front, and I've seen examples of the spaceship with open windows produced in 1954. They came in three colors, red, blue and silver.
