This original 1961 Lockheed print advertisement highlights the advanced U.S. Navy Polaris submarine missile system. Featuring striking black and white artwork, the ad showcases a submarine with its towering sail beneath the sea and a Polaris missile launching powerfully above. Produced by Lockheed Missiles & Space Division, Sunnyvale, California, this ad illustrates the critical role Lockheed played as prime contractor and missile system manager for the Polaris program. The ad also credits Aerojet-General Corporation and General Electric for rocket motor and guidance system components, underscoring the collaborative engineering effort.

Ideal for military, space, and Cold War collectors, this vintage print ad offers a glimpse into 1960s aerospace and defense innovation. The dramatic imagery and technical copy reflect the era's strategic defense priorities and the cutting-edge technology of solid-propellant rocket motors. A rare collectible piece for enthusiasts of Lockheed history, missile technology, and Cold War memorabilia, this ad embodies the spirit of mid-20th century American aerospace achievement.

Unless noted above, all of my ephemera products are Original and free of rips or tears. Vintage print ads invariably have some degree of wear, especially near the binding. Also, some fading is possible, as is the smudge or run of inks during production.

As expected with vintage paper, there may be some natural darkening, and foxing may be present. Generally speaking, I will not offer for sale an item with any substantial condition issues unless it's of great quality, scarcity, or it has some other exceptional characteristic, and the issues would be described in detail.
