Original
Image, from the January 1956 issue of
'Popular Science Monthly'
(finally got it, and even in colour !)
According to the article, at least 3
of these models were built by Mr. Herbert R.Pfister, associate
editor of PSM, after consultation with scientists from the U.S:
National Committee for the International Geophysical Year (IGY),
for PSM, New York's Hayden Planetarium and the IGY Committee's
Washington office.
An almost exact German translation of this article
was published in the May 1956 issue of 'Hobby-Das Magazin der
Technik' (a German counterpart of PSM)

Another reference,
published in 1956 in the book "Projekt Vorhut"
(="Project Vanguard") by German science journalist
Werner Buedeler
'This photo shows the
satellite sphere, sitting on top of the third stage. Inside the
satellite, which in reality will not be transparent, you can see
sensors and telemetry equipment'

Image of the same
model, published in 1979 in the book
"Geschichte der
Raumfahrt" by the same author
'Early model of a satellite,
presented by the USA in preparation for the International
Geophysical Year and later - though heavily changed - implemented
by the VANGUARD satellite'
Same picture (though they aibrushed
the supporting hand out of it) was also in the article 'Projekt
Vorhut – An der Grenze des Weltraums' ('Project Vanguard - at
the frontier of space') by Heinz Gartmann, published in 'Das Neue
Universum' Vol. 73, Stuttgart/Germany 1956 (which also had the
MOUSE pictures)
