TITLE: "
Junior American Marine Set by Tillicum"
PUBLISHER:
[Springfield, Masschusetts]: Tillicum for Milton Bradley Company
DATE:
1940s? (Pre-Plastic era)
EDITION: T-305
DESCRIPTION:
Box dimensions 22 x 15 x 2.  10 Toys: 8 ships; 1 buoy (flag pole loose); 1 lighthouse.   Outer box upper, outer box lower, inner insert upper (printed), inner insert lower (plain).  Inserts match the toys for presentation and storage.
CONDITION NOTES:
Complete set of toys.  Outer upper and lower box complete but stained and torn on corners with old tape repairs.   Inner box inserts both present and in fresh condition though upper insert is lightly handled, but not stained like the outer box, AND tears to all corners of both inserts, flattening the inserts from original condition.   Toys are FINE with fresh lacquer and no soiling, except for the buoy which has a loose flag staff (which also may be truncated).
.
Advertising found elsewhere referred to Tillicum Toys as "Little Boats for Little Folks: Table, Tub, or Floor Play".
.
Set is complete, though the buoy may have a delicate flag that is not present. The inner carton liner is crushed by the stacking that affected the edges of the box.
.
Tillicum made other sets, some of them painted with more colorful boxes.  The present set appears to be the largest set offered, with all the boats included in other sets, and all finished in clear lacquer.
