Questions for the Pin Gurus....
1. Is this a pretty rare one?
2. How old is it ... Late 40s? Early 50s?
It's an uncommon image of the Pirates Mascot, that I hadn't seen. Thanks in advance for any help with this one.

For what it’s worth, I’ve never seen this particular pin before. Have seen a Pirate with a knife in his teeth, but not with the hat. Nice pickup.
