Space Cadet - Spaceman Jax Fanclub Pin - 1961
Are you an official Space Cadet?
For a period in the early 1960s, Spaceman Jax was part of a balanced breakfast for kids everywhere. The show was sponsored by Sunington Morn Breakfast Cereals, and merchandise for Spaceman Jax and the Galactic Adventures hit supermarket shelves even before the first episode hit the airwaves. But whether kids saw him first on TV or a cereal box, Spaceman Jax – the “hero with a heart of gold, and the intellect of a Ploridian Lunar Beast” – won a legion of fans.
These die-struck pins are exact replicas of the original fan club pins released in 1961. And thanks to Curio & Co., you don’t have to collect box tops to get them!
