Comic book ad cardboard spaceship

Peter says: "In reference to your post on the cardboard submarine here is a picture of myself and my brother in a cardboard space ship about 1954. It might still exist in the basement storage at my parent’s house."

Now if someone can send me a photo of a teacup monkey that they actually got from the comic book ad, I can die a happy man.

Hey I know this was posted almost a year ago but could you put me in touch with the Peter who says he might have one of these? I'd be interested in buying both the original photo and the actual cardboard rocket if they are available.

Thanks for your help,

Peter Kleeman

I have been looking for one of these cardboard subs for months...I remember the ads dearly at the back of all the old comics I read in the 60's. If anyone has any knowledge whatsover about where I could find one of these subs today, I would be greatly appreciative for the info! Thanx.
