1974 Newspaper Ad for Gabriel’s Lone Ranger Action Figure
A few years ago I wrote about the Gabriel Lone Ranger toys, and ever since that post I’ve toyed with the idea of collecting those Lone Ranger action figures and accessories of the seventies. I’ve resisted, but there come times when I start looking around online for the toys . . . and it was one of those moments that led to this discovery.
This ad comes from a 1974 issue of The Morning Record newspaper, and if you ever want to waste a bunch of time I can recommend the Google newspaper archives. When stressed and frustrated I find that just poking around in the archives can slowly bring my brain back to a more productive state. And hey, I get to see some fun stuff while unwinding!
