Major Matt Mason

Most boys my age played with "real men" dolls....GI Joe and Major Matt Mason. I had Matt and his space sled, but alas, not the complete moon station. A few years back, the Cradle of Aviation museum located near Roosevelt Field in Long Island had a neat exhibition of space toys. The toys spanned many eras, from Sputnik to Star Wars. Matt and his moon station had his own display case. Here is a classic comic ad that was shown in the exhibition.
