Item Description
3x6x8" tall tin litho with built-in key. c. 1930. This toy is often found with missing or replaced parts, however this example is complete and all original. The large Mickey figure is attached to and pushes a street organ that features multiple images of him. Separate small Minnie Mouse figure attached to a metal rod attaches to the top of the street organ. Again, this Minnie figure is usually missing or replaced but this is complete and original. Mickey even has his original spring tail. Toy works and Mickey turns the crank, Minnie dances and musical notes are produced. Small scattered traces of wear including some paint nicks/rubs but a much above average example with deep rich color and a glossy appearance. VF.
