New one to me, but I'll try to check it out in a few catalogs. Later.

That's a first for me, too. Looks pretty cool, actually. The box is a late one, which might be a clue.

Yeah, the more I look at it the more I wish I had kept it. I know who has it, atleast. Oh, well...I have some nice pictures of it!
Re: Pflueger Rocket with Blue Knobs
Checked some catalogs. 1965, 1966 were in color. Those years the blue striped box was used. Rockets were shown with red knobs. No catalog I checked mentioned blue knobs. Can't figure it unless a few experimental blue knobs were laying around and the Pfluegers were known for wasting nothing. Obviously very scarce.
Best I could do. Cheers! Bad Bob

Re: Pflueger Rocket with Blue Knobs
Dam! Now I really wish I kept it! Its a click or two shy of MIB. I might send the buyer an email. EH, probably won't. Anyways, thanks for the digging, Bob. I truly appreciate it. Ive held other "blue knobs", but they were too far gone and I didn't pull the trigger.
