Answers.Text: I could certainly imagine those antenna pieces breaking or going missing. Do you have the red baseplate that this is built on? Red baseplates are uncommon, and the one for this set also has a unique dot pattern: http://peeron.com/inv/parts/10p03

Answers.Text: I'm not sure about the baseplate. I vaguely remember a broken piece we got rid of when I was a kid that might have been that. Or not. I'm going to have my dad take a look at this.

Answers.Text: Those antennas are notorious for breaking, so I could easily imagine them being tossed sometime in the last 45 years, which might explain why you don't remember them.

Body: <p>I have some of my dad's old Lego sets from the 1960s when he was a kid. There are circular discs that fit on top of each other to connect and form a rocket. Is this a Saturn V rocket model (the ones that took the Apollo astronauts to the moon) or perhaps some other rocket? What Lego sets like this were available in that period?</p>

  I have some of my dad's old Lego sets from the 1960s when he was a kid. There are circular discs that fit on top of each other to connect and form a rocket. Is this a Saturn V rocket model (the ones that took the Apollo astronauts to the moon) or perhaps some other rocket? What Lego sets like this were available in that period?
