Wooly Willy found!
It was noted in a recent web publication that the long lost male model for the popular "Wooly Willy" children's toy has been located!
The "Wooly Willy" toy was developed by the Smethport Specialty Co. in 1955. Due to recent waning sales a new marketing strategy was developed. This new strategy was cleverly designed to appeal to today's more technically savy children. With this in mind, the search for a hot male model with looks that would appeal to any five to seven year old, began. The model (shown here) was unamed, but caused such an uproar that he fled the public's fickle eye. This photo was taken somewhere in East Tennessee and has not yet been verified. Notice the uncanny resemblence to the actual product.
