Where are the 100 Toy Pirates now?

[write-light.livejournal.com]

Wow, it's a THING!  Waymarking.com has a whole page of old ads and current address info.



100 Toy Pirates for $1.25!  Josely Company was at 1472 Broadway, New York, now home to:

TIMES SQUARE and the Condé Nast Building!

See an ACTUAL SET OF THESE!

**And my hopeless search for a pirates tag makes me wonder - why don't we have a pirate ads day next year - on Talk Like a Pirate Day! (Sept. 19, 2013) :D

Oh this is awesome! I found two right in my town! I might have to drive down there when it's not raining and see if they're just empty storefronts.

Hey, hey! If I'm paying a whole $1.25 for this crew, I don't want any goldbrickers aboard. Throw in other band members!

Aren't those ships a bit small for those pirates? And where are the mermaids? I can't seem to pick them out in the illustration.

Looks like a mermaid in the very top row, directly under the 25.

Oooh! I think you're right. Thanks!

That's a nice variety of characters and pieces for a buck twenty-five. I like that they included cannons, ships, treasure chests, and mermaids in the set.

8 accordion players? Must be a very powerful unit!
