| | |  | 1950s English Boxed Tinplate/Plastic Disney Target Set(Reference #6-3-151)
Made by Wells of England in the 1950s under licence from Walt Disney Productions Ltd, this family shooting gallery has a lithographed tinplate frame and four plastic figures of Pluto, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy that spin round when struck with a cork. It measures 11.5" x 7.75" and is in very good condition for its age, probably because the pop gun with corks that would have been included originally is now missing. However, it still makes a very attractive Disney collectible in its own right. The target set is complete with its original box that is attractively printed, but does suffer from tearing and scuffing, and two re-attached end flaps. (WR) US$28.00

| 1930s English Boxed Wells Tin W/U Mickey Mouse Handcar(Reference #02-3-63)
Probably based on Lionel's Mickey Mouse handcar, this English version was produced in the immediate pre-WWII period by Wells Brimtoy. The set which is still contained in its original box (13.5" x 11.25") comprises a tinplate and wind-up handcar (6.5" long) with a composition figure of Mickey on one end and Minnie on the other, six sections of curved track, a cardboard station building and a cardboard Mickey Mouse house (both 4.75" long). The toy is marked both with the maker's name and with the legend BY PERMISSION WALT DISNEY-MICKEY MOUSE LTD which clearly dates it to pre-1939. The handcar is in full working order (but please note that a key is not provided), although it does run somewhat faster on the floor than on the rails. The handcar features Pluto on one side and Horace on the other. It is reasonable condition for its age, but does suffer from some relatively minor print loss and scuffing. Composition is, by its very nature, a fragile material and the figures are best described as suffering from age-related wear. This manifests itself in terms of some paint loss and surface cracking. However, both Mickey and Minnie are complete and intact, and convey perfectly the essence of the two characters. As the handcar moves along, Mickey and Minnie vigorously pump the bar while the bell rings. The cardboard station building is original, and complete and intact, although it does suffer from minor staining, tearing, and cardboard loss. Mickey Mouse's house is made up from a colour reproduction of the original, and is a very sympathetic replacement indeed. The rails also suffer from age-related age, but they are complete, form a circular track, and provide a working circuit for the handcar. The original box is complete and intact, but the bottom has been repaired with brown tape as it was faded and distressed, and the lid has been recovered in red art paper. The box still has its original colour label but, sadly, the original child owner has used this for darts practice so that it is pitted with holes. It is also subject to minor paper loss and staining. However, we are supplying a colour reproduction of a better condition label so that the buyer can replace the original if required. This is an absolutely stunning vintage Mickey Mouse toy that would grace any collection of Mouse memorabilia. (#) US$1,190.00

|  | 1930s English Dean's Rag Book Plush Mickey Mouse Doll(Reference #05-5-85)
 In late 1929, Dean's Rag Book of England secured a licence from Walt Disney to produce plush Mickey Mouse dolls under registered design number 750611. The company initially produced the dolls in eight sizes, from 6" up to 21", although a 48" version was added in 1932. On offer here is an example of the 7" size. The dolls were made using the company's patented Evripose jointing system so that the limbs can be bent in any direction. The wire in this example is still complete and intact, so that you can still bend his arms and legs. The body is made of a fine velour fabric, as are the shorts; the face has printed facial features with the registration number printed at the base of the neck. Mickey has boot button eyes and the toothy grin that is so typical of vintage Mickey Mouse toys. The ears and over-sized hands are made of thick felt, as are the tops of the shoes. The soles are made from leather-look material. Mickey is in very acceptable condition for his age: there is some wear to the back of his shorts and the back of his head, the middle finger of his right hand is darker than the others, and he lacks one button from the front of his shorts, his satin bow, and his rubber tail (which is always missing because the rubber perishes with age). However, he is still a fine example of one of England's best vintage Mickey toys.

| 1930s Knock-Off Disney Snow White Shoulder-Head Doll(Reference #05-9-27)
Clearly inspired by Disney's first full-length animated film of 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', this 10" tall shoulder-head doll is a knock-off of Snow White. The doll has a composition shoulder-head, and a cloth body, and is dressed in the traditional Snow White costume of blue top with white collar, and yellow skirt with felt flowers. She has a mohair wig, painted facial features, and her costume is made of felt and organdie, with gauze knickers. The doll is in lovely condition and does not appear to have been played with very much. The only minor flaws to report are a small dent to the nose (but the surface of the composition is not broken) and thinning to the back of the wig (see picture), although this is undoubtedly original. Please note that the stand is not included. If you're a fan of knock-off Disney items, then don't miss this opportunity to acquire this delightful Snow White doll. (*) US$58.00

|  | 1970s English Green Monk Disney Tin Drums (2)(Reference #04-7-3dd)
Made by Green Monk Combex of England in the 1970s under licence from Walt Disney Productions, these two tinplate drums (7" in diameter) are brightly lithographed. The printing presents all your favourite Disney characters: Mickey, Donald, Minnnie, Pluto, and Goofy - all playing a musical instrument. The tops and bottoms of the drums are somewhat battered where they have been struck with the drumsticks (these are sadly now missing), but the printed sides are still in good shape. Both drums suffer from very minor print loss and are slightly dented, but would still make very attractive display pieces for a Disney collection. (WR) US$20.00

|  | 1960 Hong Kong Goofy & Donald Duck Novelties(Reference #8-2-02cc)
Kohner made these two plastic novelty toys in their TRICKY RIDER range in the 1960s. Kohner operated out of East Paterson, New Jersey, in the USA, but the toys were manufactured in Hong Kong. Both toys are made of plastic, measure 4 inches long, and are powered by rubber bands. The Toys work by pulling the string from the top of the head, which should wind the rubber band. strung between the two wheels. They are marked TRICKY RIDER TM, and WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS. Neither toy currently works because the rubber bands have perished in each one, and we have not tried to replace them, although it may be possible to do so. There is no damage to the plastic on either item, although both lack one small plastic cap from each side; working or not, they still make an attractive display. (WR) US$20.00

| 1930s Disney Snow White Paper/Wood Cut-Outs(Reference #01-7-12)
Probably printed in England to coincide with the release of Disney’s ‘Snow White’, these paper cut-outs of the film’s characters have been pasted onto the cardboard stands provided in the original set. The set is, unfortunately, no longer complete. It currently consists of the prince riding his horse, five dwarves building a bed for Snow White, a tree surrounded by toadstools, a deer, a pair of rabbits, three separate chipmunks in the forest, and the rear section of the dwarves’ cottage. There are therefore nine cut-outs in total. They are in very good condition for their age; there is just slight creasing to the edges and thatched roof of the cottage where the paper is not supported by the wooden backing. If you’re a fan of Snow White, then these delightful cut-outs could form an extremely attractive backdrop for the other items in your collection of memorabilia. (WR) US$36.00

| 1960s French Cloth/Vinyl Walking Mickey Mouse(Reference #01-7-11e)
Made by Clodrey of France in the 1960s, this very unusual walking Mickey Mouse doll stands 18 inches tall. Made of cloth and plastic and with a vinyl head, Mickey walks courtesy of an air pumping mechanism that is activated by squeezing his hands. When you squeeze his right or left hand, the leg on the corresponding side of his body moves forward. Mickey is in full working order and is in very acceptable condition for his age. All he suffers from is slight paint loss to his nose and head, some marking to his right hand, and some slight grubbiness to the cloth of his feet. Please note that the stand is not included.

|  | 1970s English Linen Disney Winnie-the-Pooh Bear(Reference #05-7-12x)
This linen Pooh bear was probably made at home by following a commercially available pattern in England in the 1970s. He is in a seated position and measures 12" tall. Pooh is very well made, and has kapok stuffing and felt facial features. He is in very good condition: there is just slight marking to the left-hand side of his face, below the mouth. Undoubtedly, this is a case of too much honey in one go! He would make an absolutely charming addition to any collection of Winnie-the-Pooh memorabilia. (WR) US$20.00

| 1950s English Disney Transfer Books (3)(Reference #7-9-81)
Issued by Tower Press of England in the 1950s, these three transfer books feature Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Bambi. The three books (actually a pair of covers) enclose a set of transfers that you have to place in a saucer of water until wet so that you can then transfer the picture to another sheet of paper. All three books are in good condition, although the Donald one lacks its transfers, and all of them suffer from marking to the insides where the colour has transferred from the sheet of transfers. As a result, the transfers themselves are somewhat washed out. However, these are unusual items of Disney memorabilia that would enhance any serious collection. (WR) US$44.00

|  | 1950s Lusterware Disney Gus/Jac Mouse Ashtray(Reference #01-7-11pp)
As this unusual item isn't marked in any way, it could either be a licensed Disney item or it could be a knock-off. What isn't in doubt, however, is the character represented. This is clearly either Gus or Jac - the two mice featured in Disney's 1950 film of Cinderella. Here, the mouse in question is holding a deep wickerwork basket whose function, as indicated by the grooves across the top, is to act as an ashtray. Measuring five inches by five and a half inches, this is a chunky lusterware item that is in superb condition. There are no chips or scratches whatsoever. The appliquéd green-white colour to the eyes only enhances the overall appeal of this item which could be of interest to collectors either of Disneyana or of lusterware.

| 1970 Hong Kong Articulated Donald Duck Figure(Reference #7-10-22)
Made in Hong Kong in the 1970s under licence from Walt Disney Productions, this moulded plastic figure of Donald Duck stands seven and a half inches tall, and has an articulated neck, arms and legs. He is also complete with his cotton sailor jacket, bow, original paper swing tag, and original label to his jacket. Apart from some slight fading to the front of his jacket, there are absolutely no defects to report. (TR) US$24.00

|  | 1930s French Rubber Disney Little Pigs (2)(Reference #00-4-24)
Although these delightful figures are not marked in any way, they clearly represent Disney's Little Pigs from the 1933 film. Standing 3" tall, they are attractively moulded and represent fiddler pig and practical pig. They are complete, intact, and in very good condition, considering how inherently fragile they are. Apart from some minor scuffing and staining, there are no defects to report. This porky pair would make a stunning addition to any collection of pig-related memorabilia or of Disneyana. (TR) US$50.00

| 1960 UK Marx Donald Duck on Harley Tricycle(Reference #03-3-11)
Louis Marx made this unusual model of Donald Duck riding a Harley Davidson three-wheeled motorcycle, in England in the 1960'. The bike is made of hard plastic with rubber wheels, and measures 4.5" long. It is trademarked on both rear tyres, and inside the rear red carrier, which is also copyrighted 'WDP'. The toy is in generally good condition, apart from some obvious paint loss, and a pull back mechanism, which no longer works. There is evidence of an old glue repair to one front mudguard strut, which seems to be sound. This is quite a quirky toy for Marx, but one that would appeal equally well to either Disney or Harley Davidson collectors. (#) US$98.00

|  | 1960 Hong Kong Marx Mickey Mouse Puppet(Reference #03-3-18)
Louis Marx made this Mickey Mouse articulated figure in Hong Kong in the 1960s. He stands nearly 4" tall on his drum, and when the base is depressed, he can be made to perform various antics. The drum has a small missing section to the top at one side, but this does not affect Mickey's dancing routine. In all other respects, the toy is in original condition. Marx made a large number of different Disney toys in this range, and this is one of the less common. (#) US$98.00

| 1946 Disney Peter and the Wolf Card Game(Reference #4-9-86)
Produced by Pepys Games in the UK to coincide with the release of the Disney film 'Make Mine Music' in 1946, this Peter and the Wolf card game is complete, has its instructions, and is still contained in its original box. The object of the game is for each player to get rid of his or her cards as quickly as possible. The cards are in very good condition and do not appear to have been played with much; the box hasn't fared quite as well over the years. It suffers from tearing, scuffing, and the loss of one flap to the top. However, if you're a fan of Peter and the Wolf, then this could well be the item for you.

|  | 1961 Marx Disney Disneykins Leaflet(Reference #9-10-01f)
This leaflet (8.75" x 3.75") illustrates 34 of the 'different masterpieces' of plastic figures that Marx in Hong Kong produced in its Disneykins range. These include characters from 'Alice', 'Pinocchio', Peter Pan', and 'Lady and the Tramp', and 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'. The leaflet would originally have been included in the small cardboard box that the figures came in, which explains why it has so many folds. However, there are no other defects to report and this is a desirable item, if for no other reason than that it names so many Disneykins characters. (25 #) US$20.00

| 1960s Marx Disney W/U Twirling Tail Mickey(Reference #02-11-7)
Made by Marx in Japan under licence from Walt Disney Productions, this 6.5" tall plastic novelty toy goes by the name of 'Twirling Tail Mickey'. Use the integral key to wind him up and his tail twirls round, causing the figure to vibrate. Mickey is complete and intact, and is in very acceptable condition for his age. All he suffers from is slight paint loss. He is impressed WDP on his back, and still has his original Marx paper label on the underside of his left foot. This is an extremely attractive Mickey novelty toy that would grace any collection of Mouse memorabilia. (100 #) US$190.00

Made by Superware in Thailand in the 1980s, this boxed Mickey Mouse child's dinner set comprises three melamine pieces: a four-compartment plate measuring 9.5" by 8.5", and a knife and fork. These last two items are plain; the plate features transfers of Mickey and Donald dressed as cowboys and carries the Walt Disney copyright mark. There are no defects to report to the set that is still contained in its original cardboard box. This has suffered somewhat over the years and is now subject to taping, scuffing, and some cardboard loss. It is, nevertheless, complete and intact and has a wonderfully colourful graphic of Mickey and Donald on the front. (~160) US$36.00

This large-scale (3" tall) plastic Marx Disneykins Babes in Toyland Soldier is still contained in its original cardboard sentry box. The soldier is marching and carrying a rifle. He is in absolutely mint and unplayed with condition. The sentry box, however, has not fared as well over the years. It is subject to tearing and creasing which is most pronounced to the top of the box. It is, nevertheless, in pretty remarkable condition for a toy that was issued in 1961. The box is marked both with the Marx trademark and with the Walt Disney Productions copyright. This is an unusual item that is much harder to find in this scale than in the more usual smaller one.

| 1930s UK Mickey Mouse Badge/Minnie Mouse Fork(Reference #02-6-01d)
These two unrelated Mickey and Minnie Mouse items from the 1930s are both believed to be English in origin. The 'Mickey Mouse Chums' badge was issued to members of the club run by the comic 'Mickey Mouse Weekly'. It measures 1" in diameter, and is in fair condition. However, it has no pin on the back and the black enamel is missing from Mickey's ears. Nevertheless, the image is unmistakably that of Mickey with pie-cut eyes, and the badge retains a nostalgic charm, despite its condition. The Minnie Mouse fork is the sole survivor of a three-piece set, and measures 4.75" in length. It is in good but used condition, and is stamped with 'My Minnie Mouse' and a picture of Minnie Mouse on the handle. If you're interested in budget items from Mickey's golden era, then these two bits could be for you. (WR) US$30.00

The badge is in worn condition, as it has no pin on the back, and there is a missing area of red enamel just above Mickey's head. However it is an item of classic Mickey, and if you haven't got one already then it's not expensive. The diameter of the badge is 1". (25 #) US$30.00

| Boxed 1930s Mickey Mouse Xmas Tree Lights(Reference #9-12-05g)
Still complete in their original box (9" x 16"), these Mickey Mouse Christmas tree lights are an absolute delight. The twelve bakelite lamp-holders are still attached to their original cable and plug. The lamps still have their bulbs intact and have transfers of Mickey and Minnie (both with pie-cut eyes), Pluto, Goody, Donald, the Big Bad Wolf, the Three Little Pigs, and the Hare and the Tortoise. The only small defects to report are relatively small transfer loss to the lamps, together with a virtually invisible repair to one of the lampshades. There is also staining to the box inner, the lack of half of the stand-up flap for display purposes, and paper loss, tearing and scuffing to the box lid. The British Thomson-Houston Company Ltd made this delightful item in the UK and Canada. It now deserves a place in a serious collection of Mickey memorabilia.

|  | 1950s Tinplate Mickey Mouse Drawing Tutor(Reference #8-9-5)
Made by Wells of England in the 1950s under licence from Walt Disney Productions, this intriguing tinplate and cardboard toy enabled children to copy their favourite pictures from Walt Disney and other comics. As the metal tracing pin in Mickey's cardboard hand follows the outline of the chosen design, the child guides the pencil in the holder attached to his foot so as to reproduce the design exactly on their sheet of drawing paper. The tinplate base has pictures of, among others, Donald and his nephews, Mickey, Minnie, Thumper, Pluto and Goofy. The toy is in unplayed with condition and in its original box. The only flaws to report are minor print loss to the base, slight scuffing to the top of Mickey's cardboard leg and foot (probably caused by rubbing against the box), and minor tearing, scuffing and staining to the box. An unusual toy in great condition, it measures 19" high. (WR) US$130.00

Made by Emenee Musical Toys of New York under licence from Walt Disney Productions, this Mickey Mouse Rhythm Band claims that it 'teaches children basic music'. The band comprises a 78 rpm instruction record, together with a pair of cymbals, a Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeers tambourine, two wooden percussion sticks, a pair of maracas, wrist bells, sandpaper blocks, and ratchet board. It also includes an instruction leaflet and promotional booklet for other Emenee musical toys. The set does not appear to have been played with very much as the record is still in its original cellophane wrapping, and the instruments are all in pristine condition. The only defects to report are some paper loss to the cardboard inner, a couple of tears to the cardboard backdrop, and some scuffing and tearing to the original box (22.5" x 14").

| 1940s English Disney Boxed Film Strips (3)(Reference #5-4-80)
Made in England by Johnsons of Hendon by arrangement with Walt Disney Mickey Mouse Ltd, these three boxed film strips are all complete with their reading sheets and are in very good condition. They are for use with the Disney film projector also marketed by Johnsons, but would undoubtedly work with any similar apparatus. They comprise 24 slides each, either two 12-slide stories or one 24-slide story, and are wound round a wooden peg (2" long). The sets are number 31, comprising Mickey and the Beanstalk; number 29, comprising Johnny Appleseed and Little Toot, both from Melody Time; number 27, comprising Sleep-Walker Donald, featuring Donald and Daisy, and The Stolen Pup, featuring Pluto and Ronnie. In the second set, the top edge of the celulloid film strip is ragged and, in the third set, there is a small tear to the end section of the celluloid, but this does not interfere with the cells in either case. The boxes suffer from slight scuffing and tearing, but are in overall remarkably good condition for their age. These items could be of interest both to collectors of Disney and of optical toys.

|  | 1930s Snow White Magic Mirror Optical Book(Reference #03-7-11aa)
This fantastic optical novelty book was published by Dean & Son Limited of London especially for Stephenson Brothers Limited of Bradford (manufacturers of furniture and floor polishes) in the 1930s as a promotional item. The book could only be obtained from Stephenson Brothers in exchange for saved tokens from their various products and a cash contribution and is, consequently, very scarce today. The book has a pair of coloured magic spectacles (worn but usable) through which can be viewed the six 3-D pictures from the film. The book measures 9.5" x 7" and has 60 pages which are in generally good condition. However, the front cover and spine are detached from the back cover and there are the remains of old tape repairs. The pages are all intact and untorn but, of the 41 black and white illustrations, one has been coloured in by a child and three others have some added colouring to part of the pictures. However, even as a somewhat flawed item, this is a rare enough piece of early Disney memorabilia to be worthy of inclusion in either a Snow White or early Disney collection. (WR) US$390.00

| 1940s English Tinplate Mickey Mouse Barge(Reference #6-3-150)
Manufactured in the late 1940s/early 1950s this lithographed, tinplate floating barge measures 16" long by 5" wide. It contains 33 coloured wooden blocks that are approximately 1¼" square. The deck depicts Minnie Mouse scrubbing the deck at the bow and Mickey Mouse pushing a pole at the stern. The deck is printed with the words "MICKEY'S BARGE TO CARRY 3LB". There is a fitting at either end to allow string to be attached for pulling the barge through the water. The toy is in playworn condition, but retains an attractive appearance overall. There are dents to the underside of the hull, especially to the bow section. There is also wear around the exterior edge of the deck and to the edges of the hatch where children have taken the bricks out over the years. The toy is unmarked, but is believed to have been made by Paton Calvert and Co Ltd of Liverpool under the name of Happynak. This company produced a range of Mickey Mouse toys under licence from Walt Disney, both before and after the Second World War. Overall, this is an unusual, post-war Mickey Mouse item.
