PULKO ADS






13 November 1920 and 20 November 1920 - De Zuid Willemsvaart

This ad came out 4 years before Mobaco was put on the market.
It states: Pulko Construction Set, very new, fl. 6.00 and fl 12,50. Prices probably refer to sets 1 and 2, Addo and Baldo, or perhaps for Addo and the Bridge set mentioned in the next ad below.

24 November 1922 - Het Volk, dagblad voor de arbeiderspartij

Two years later, an advertisement from De Bijenkorf ("the beehive"), a high end department store in Amsterdam.
The manual in the detail shows "Bouwspel Pulko" (= construction game Pulko in Dutch), and two sets are offered:
- a set for the construction of Villa's, Mansions, etc. - fl. 3.95
- a set for the construction of bridges, large size - fl. 10.75
