Item History & Price
OFFERED HERE IS MY:
RARE AND WONDERFUL MICKEY MOUSE.....Based on Walt Disney's cartoon character created in 1928.
CHARACTER FIGURE...SOFT PLUSH DOLL
c.1930
MADE IN ENGLAND......BY DEANS (RAG BOOK Co Ltd).
He displays with the usual Deans registration info , located to his right side nec...k...just under his ribbon neck tie ....difficult to read, but appears to be 750611.
HERE IN A HUGE SIZE........around 48 cm / nearly 20 inches...I've never seen another this size?
IMPOSING PROPORTIONS MAKE FOR A WONDERFUL RARE DISPLAY PIECE
Mickey has a great early toothy grin...wears his blue pants and has large four finger orange hands/feet
Unlike the standard smaller sized examples from Deans, he is of soft form without internal wire structure.
As he is so large, he is best displayed seated.....though with careful positioning he is able to stand leaning, as shown in a few images.
He is very old now, so displays with some expected age wear...I've tried to show the odd small worn spots/tiny holes.Mainly located around feet/ankles, and odd spot to rear of his head/back....none of which is unsightly.
His black felt/velvet like covering has a nice appearance, with a distinctive weave pattern and an evenly aged look.
He has no unpleasant odour or apparent moisture damage.
At his back side, you can still see the remnants of a rubber tail...after 80-90 years, Dean's Mouse figures nearly always display with a missing/worn away tail.
Mickey's large face still looks pleasing, with just a little marking/dirt spot etc...
Having never seen another one like my Mickey, I don't have anything to compare him with....so please take a good look at all the included images...to satisfy yourself of his condition/originality...thanks.
*****I've never been able to find another Dean's figure the same as my Mickey...but have just seen a Deans Rag Book figure of 1920's Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (Disney creation lost to Universal Studios in 1928..... resulting in the creation of Mickey Mouse later that same year!).The Rabbit figure displays similar tight fitting blue velvet pants as my figure;and also the stocky looking legs and feet shape(the rabbit figure wears shoes over feet, so perhaps Mickey has lost his ?)....the rabbit also displays the toothy smile as well as four finger hands and centre seams throughout, as on my Mickey......see what you think.....I'VE ADDED THE LAST IMAGE PURELY FOR REFERENCE AND COMPARISON.....THANKS.*****
INCREDIBLY CHARMING AND SUPER RARE SIZE......great piece of early Disneyana
i've added all images i can, to hopefully show the honest/accurate condition....please take a good close look for yourself, as these pictures also form part of the description...and i'm parting with my HUGE SIZED MICKEY MOUSE as is/as shown and without returns...thanks.
