Yes Jack the ad is late 66 and shows the Valiant...
The Valiant must have carried over to 67 with the indroduction of Sapphire and Coronet" As they feature in quite a few sales ads for 67. The Deluxe" Name appears to have been used from 62 up until 67 at least,as per your brochure.
Agreed on the space theme as it was especially common for childrens toys from the late 50's right through to the Moon landings.
Im currently restoring a Cyclops Jupiter Rocket Dinkie from 1959 and it was based solely on the Jupiter Rocket theme.
A very rare toy and the most prized piece in my Cyclops collection. Very few remain,One is in the Powerhouse another in the national museum and only a handfull in private collections.
Anyway thats for another forum,but highlights your point on the space theme over these years.
Cheers for the link to Jack. It's a nice clear piece and an important part of the slowly growing Turner threads.
