RARE CAST IRON FRENCH MICKEY MOUSE BANK.

RARE CAST IRON FRENCH MICKEY MOUSE BANK. An all original bank that was sanctioned by Walt Disney and produced in France in the 1930s. The pie-eyed Mickey with a watermelon mouth and hands on his hips has great appeal. This bank was often found in French school rooms and used as an instructional tool as well, teaching children how to save money. Enameled in the typical Mickey Mouse colors of red, white and black this fellow retains all original paint, however there is heavy alligatoring, most notable to the white surfaces. Bank has raised lettering on underside of feet as well as embossed lettering to rear of each ear. Mickey is in as found, untouched condition and a good cleaning would certainly enhance the overall appeal. SIZE: 8-1/2″. CONDITION: Overall very good plus condition. 1-11889 (2,500-4,500)
