Story
The 1960s saw a massive boom in character-based toys as Disney expanded its reach into the everyday lives of suburban families.
Maker / Origin
During this period, Disney licensed its characters to specialized rubber and vinyl manufacturers such as the Italian firm Ledraplastic (famous for their 'Elephant' mark) and the American Sun Rubber…
Condition & Value
There is visible paint loss on Mickey's nose and ears on the standing figure, and the tan telephone base shows significant discoloration or 'nicotine staining' compared… Value is driven by the nostalgia of Disney collectors and the condition of the paint.
