- Summary
- This mechanical bank, made by R.M.S. Sales Corp. especially for the 1964 New York World's Fair, was a modification of two different space-themed mechanical banks, the Strato and the Destination Moon, both originally designed and manufactured by Duro Mold & Manufacturing. Atop the rocket, rather than a Moon globe, sat a version of the Unisphere, the iconic 12-story globe created on the Fair grounds in Queens, New York. A coin could be launched into a slot in the Unisphere by a spring-loaded mechanism on the side of the rocket.
- Raymond Reines donated the bank to the Museum in 2011.
