Dorothy Do, Birthday Invitation

Donated by the founder of the Mast Foundation, this is one of many invitation/card sets created in the wake of the Deep Blue’s success. Once lining the shelves of every drug store and shop around the U.S. these cards are now extremely difficult to find! On the card you can see the little sailor himself entreating the recipient to attend what was surely a lively party!

These cards would change yearly, often being produced in limited runs and as such unused cards would often be traded around by fans of the show.
