This is a flying rocket model made of wood, plastic, and cardboard. It is not known whether it was flown. The model has a nylon parachute in the nose. Once the motors stopped burning the parachute deployed and the model gently returned to Earth for reuse. The nose is egg-shaped and was apparently designed to carry an egg during a flight to demonstrate stability and lack of vibration. Both the manufacturer and donor are unknown.
