I was able to pick up this little (about 2 by 2 by 2 inch) lucite cube commemorating the Little Joe 2 for a decent price (in my opinion).

Never seen one before so I was wondering if anyone else has? Says it was made for NASA by General Dynamics/Convair.

Didn't this rocket get its nickname because its nozzles looked like the spots on a dice? This definitely appears to be shaped like one with two spots on each side...

The two spots on each of the sides are indented and it does look like a die.

Nobody has ever seen one of these? Must be pretty rare.

All times are CT (US)
