  This is a 3" ceramic figurine of Mickey Mouse, who is shown with pie-style eyes.  He wears his usual red shorts with the white buttons and yellow shoes.  He stands with both arms bent akimbo on his hips.  This item is free of damage and its only flaw is minor crackling in the paint on the front of his shorts, as visible in the photograph accompanying this description.  Mickey is in near mint condition.  He bears the Walt Disney Productions copyright marking and, thus, probably dates to the 1960s or 1970s.  There is no indication anywhere on this item as to who made it.

MICKEY MOUSE (Walt Disney) soaky

  During the early 1970s, Avon manufactured several Walt Disney character soakies, including the Mad Hatter, Pluto, and this one of Mickey Mouse (among others).  Mickey has a vinyl body and a plastic scalp and ears.  The scalp and ears can be unscrewed, to allow access to where the shampoo used to be.  Mickey is wearing red shorts with white buttons on them, and yellow shoes.  He has no damage and only minor paint wear on one of his buttons, on his right hand, and on the area in his eyes near where the top screws onto the base.  Overall, this item is in EX+ condition.

MICKEY MOUSE (Walt Disney) composition bank -- sitting and thinking

  This is an 8" composition bank of Mickey Mouse, who is shown sitting on a brown stool as he thinks.  He is wearing his usual red shorts with the white snaps and yellow shoes.   Mickey's left hand rests on the stool by his side as he holds his right hand and index finger up in the air, by his cheek, as if he is about to say something profound.   The coin slot is located on the back of Mickey's head and the original generic black rubber stopper is present on the underside of the bank.  This item bears the Walt Disney Productions copyright marking and probably dates to the 1960s or early 1970s.   It is undamaged.  The top of Mickey's head and parts of his ears have lost their gloss, either from being washed/cleaned too vigorously in those areas and/or due to being recolored there.  This is evident when the item is inspected close-up, but not when it is displayed and viewed as a display piece.  We will downgrade this item to EX condition, specifically because of this, although if the areas of lost gloss are merely the result of the protective coating being worn in those areas, a higher condition grading would be appropriate (in the EX+ to NM- range).

MICKEY MOUSE (Walt Disney) squeak toy, fork

   Among the truly unusual squeak toys we've ever run across is this one, on which Mickey Mouse's head appears on a large orange fork.  When originally manufactured by Danara during the 1970s, this item was part of a set that also included Donald Duck on a spoon and Goofy on a knife.  This item is 7.75" long and gives off a gentle squeaking sound when squeezed.  It is undamaged and, overall, is in EX+ condition, with minor paint wear on Mickey's red bowtie and on the white lettering of his name being the item's only "problems."

COST = $55           BOXED WEIGHT: <2 POUNDS          ITEM NUMBER = 0199070

MICKEY MOUSE (Walt Disney) drum major mechanical bank

  This is a hard vinyl bank of Mickey Mouse as a drum major.  The bank stands 8.5" tall and is missing its original stopper.  Mickey wears a bright red shirt with yellowish-orange bars across the chest, blue pants, and black shoes.  He holds a yellowish-orange baton in his left hand and stands beside a yellowish-orange drum with red trim.  The arm above the drum is movable, thereby making this a mechanical bank.   The coin can be placed into Mickey's right hand and the arm lowered so that the coin drops into the coin slot on the top of the drum.  This item is free of damage but has minor paint wear on Mickey's ear tips and on the front of his shirt.  It is in EX to EX+ condition and was manufactured during the 1970s by Animal Plus Toys Inc. along with Pluto and Donald Duck counterparts (both of which we have in stock at this time).

MICKEY MOUSE (Walt Disney) plastic figurine

  This plastic Mickey Mouse stands 5.25" tall.  He is wearing a bright yellow shirt, red bowtie, blue pants, and brown shoes.  This item was manufactured during the 1950s or 1960s and bears the Walt Disney Productions marking on the back.  Mickey's front side is in very nice condition, with very minor wear.  On back, though, he has two melting marks, one on the back of his head and one on the back of his shoulders.   These are not noticeable when the item is displayed and viewed from the front, but definitely detract from the item's overall value and condition.  Due to those melt marks, this Mickey Mouse item grades as being in Good condition.

MICKEY MOUSE (Walt Disney) hard stuffed doll

  During the mid-1960s, several hard stuffed Walt Disney cartoon character dolls were manufactured, some of which had vinyl heads (as this one does) and some of which were entirely cloth/stuffed. (We have the all-stuffed Winnie the Pooh doll from this set in stock at this time too.) This is one of a few Mickey Mouse doll variations from that set, showing Mickey wearing a blue felt bowtie, a yellow velvet vest with a red felt button on it, and red velvet pants. He even has a long black felt tail attached in back! Mickey is 5.5" tall and he has thick bendable wires inside of his arms that enable them to be posed at will. Mickey is 100% free of damage and still retains his original manufacturer’s label, which is in great shape and sewn securely into the side of his left foot. He has a few small red marks on his right cheek that were resistant to a gentle attempt at cleaning, and a few small marks (not paint wear) on the back of his head. We are uncertain whether a more vigorous attempt would or would not be successful. In either event, these few small marks are Mickey’s only flaws, leaving him in near mint condition overall--nice and bright and colorful!

MICKEY MOUSE (Walt Disney) pencil holder/sharpener

  This is a 4.75" ceramic pencil holder that also doubles as a pencil sharpener.  It shows Mickey Mouse standing beside and holding onto the sides of a large wooden barrel.  The top of the barrel is hollow, enabling pencils (and such) to be stored inside of it.  In front, near the bottom, there is an embedded sharpener, enabling the item to serve double duty.  Mickey was manufactured by Enesco sometime during the 1950s as part of a larger collection of Walt Disney cartoon character sharpeners.  He retains his original gold-and-red foil manufacturer's sticker and bears the Walt Disney Productions copyright marking.  This item has no damage and very little wear, leaving it in NM+ condition.

(This could be retouched easily with a spot of paint or a dab of a magic marker; but we'll let Mickey's new owner decide whether or not to do it.)   Overall, the item grades as being in near mint condition.  The musical is 6.5" tall.

COST = $70           BOXED WEIGHT: 3 POUNDS          ITEM NUMBER = 0199020
