Nope. Probably one of three things: Either the Star Trek lunch box, the AMT
Enterprise model, or the Star Trek Tracer Gun (it fired little plastic disks
and later came out in a rifle version). All of these came out prior to 1968,
whereas the IDIC pendant showed up in '68 or '69. (The company was Lincoln
Enterprises BTW)

There is a book out there somewhere concerning Star Trek collectibles which
would probably provide a definitive answer. Someone else will have to
provide the details as I can't recall the specifics.
