Vintage 1950 ' S Disney Tin Minnie Mouse Knitting In Rocking Chair Wind - Up Toy
Item History & Price
This is a Vintage Tin wind-up toy that my Grandmother had from around the early 1950's, if I remember right. It is made of tin and the rocking chair is yellow and black with blue & white stripes on the sides. Minnie dress is red, yellow & white. Legs & arms are black and she has white gloves, as always on. Red floral cloth is attached to arm points that go up and down when you wind it up.. As a kid I remember the rocker went back & forth, and her... head side to side and legs moved, BUT....the key winds good but when you sit it down it stops. You pick it up and she knits. The head & legs do not move automatically. I do not want to try it fix it, someone with wind-up toy knowledge needs to do that. Again, key winds good. She is also dusty. Made by LineMar toys Japan for Disney Productions. That is printed on the back of the rocker. She is approx. 6 1/2" tall from bottom of rocker to top of head and 3 1/4" wide across back of rocker. Paint color is very good, does have few light scratches on legs and rocker arms. From a smoke free home. Buyer pays shipping
