I understand the 3 successful Vanguard satellites are still ( 2010 ) in orbit. There may be plans to retrieve Vanguard 1 ( see article by James Oberg ).

Yes, I see the satellite model. Very impressive. For more
Vanguard video Spacecraft Films has a DVD called LIFTOFF
with a Vanguard section. Closeup ignition and liftoff are shown for both the fixed launcher and the retractable arms
and the roll jets are shown coming on before liftoff. Well worth purchasing for all the images of early US missiles
(1958-1965).

Note that in the first six seconds there is a model of the Vanguard 1 satellite in the middle.

My dad is donating this video to the National Air and Space Museum. Note that in the first six seconds we are gathered around a model of the Vanguard 1 satellite.

Thank you for this really nice video! Any chance you have
additional Vanguard films?
