Item Description
12.5x18.25x1.5" deep celluloid over wood tray with woven wicker edge. Marked "This Tray Was Made By A St. Dunstan's War-Blinded Man" c. 1930-31. Disney provided the cello panel and veterans then did the wicker work to make pocket money. There are 8 classic images of Mickey, all with titles and these are "Mickey-Himself, Mickey Leads The Band, Hello Mickey Greets You All, Poor Little Mickey - Sad And Forlorn, Mickey Makes Some Music, Mickey And His Saxophone, Just A Song At Twilight, Mickey Plays The Drum." In between these images are additional illustrations of him with a kewpie-like baby and Mickey is shown feeding, washing, snuggling and playing with the baby. Extreme border of cello panel has some moisture staining but images are in no way affected and this panel o/w shows just some light surface wear, few minor craze lines all of which is only visible upon close inspection. Fine. We know of only about 5 of these and this is only the second we've offered in our 41 years. Superb images.
