Item Description
Tin litho w/overall size of 8.5x9x5" dia. of the roller. By Happynak, English company known for their Disney sandpails. 1930s. Complete w/attached 20.5" long wooden rod, likely a replacement. Text on roller reads "By Permission Walt Disney - Mickey Mouse, Ltd. 'Happynak' Series - Made In Gt. Britain." Top piece has matching pair of Mickey portraits plus "Mickey Mouse Garden Roller" text. The roller features great full figure gardening activity-related images of Mickey, Minnie and Donald Duck who is depicted wearing a farmer's hat and holding a broom. Other images include Mickey's nephews on a homemade see-saw, nephew pointing at a large snail and frog wearing top hat and smoking a pipe. One side has cap in place marked "Fill With Sand." Has overall obvious and extensive paint wear w/oxidation and aging but all images remain quite distinct and certainly still displayable. Good. Rare, and only the second we've seen in our 46 years. From the Michael J. Stern Collection.
