This was purchased from a vendor at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in 1975 or '76 when my son and daughter-in-law went to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire at the Paramount Ranch, Agoura Hills.  Back then it was less commercial, with only warm beer, warm water or warm lemonade to drink, there were many artists and mostly handcrafted goods, with a few commercial vendors. Although, I am told that, anything Pirate was a no-no, this was probably leaning more towards Vikings and Viking theme rather than Pirate theme. 
FYI: The Renaissance Pleasure Faire began in 1963 in Agoura, near Malibu, to create “living history” for school children and their families.
