It looks like a Nike-X Spartan or Nike-Zeus that is missing the first stage. Nice!

And the winner is... Jerry Brouillette!

Thank you for the info! Just looked it up and it's a Nike LIM-39, and it turns out I have the first stage for it too, just didn't know that they went together.

I bought a box full of vintage original missile parts and several of these were inside. If anyone needs one let me know I have parts for approx 6-7 of these.

Inside the box I also found several (30-40) booster rockets for Douglas SVL Thor rockets.

Turns out I have enough parts for six (one has chip out of one fin) complete models including the first stage not shown in the first pics, two additional upper stages and a few misc. upper stage parts not complete.

I have six Atlas Agena pieces along with the connecting tubes.

Forty-five (45) booster rockets (some complete, but most missing one or both mounting pegs) for SLV Thor rockets.

Anybody have any idea of what these are worth?

All times are CT (US)
