There were several variations on the Vashon boxes.
The Valkyrie 2 came in a long box.
My Sears box had a full color overlay. This "801" package is printed in black.
On the right side is a fold of cardboard. The propellant can would have been under it. No RP-100 (Freon) was in the box.
This is unusual. This box holds more than a single starter kit would contain. The original owner may have purchased some spare parts.
There are two V2 (longer) lower bodies that would hold the Freon propellant. White plastic nozzles are friction fit on the low end.
Four Kraft paper style parachute tubes and four hard Styrofoam nose cones are included.
Two 1/4 mil parachutes, one in shiny Mylar, the other a blue and orange print.
Two different fin sheets, printed 1/16" thick balsa. Half of one sheet has been cut out, the fins are missing.
Plenty of fin rails and a length of launch lug. A bag of vent pins and separator timer disks.
A tripod launcher base. This one is round, my original was an interlocking cruciform shape.
There are no separator (parachute timer release) sections. Not a problem, I might be able to pick one up on Ebay.
