| Appraiser Comments: | Hello and thank you for your submission! I can tell at very first glance what this is. This set is indeed very likely from 1930's and is also very much definitely a common unauthorized Mickey Mouse set. Now please do not be concerned about the unauthorized part because it is still quite collectible...unauthorized Mickey Mouse items from before WWII are much more rare than items from after when the Far East manufacturing went Mickey Mouse and Disney crazy. Please also note that there may even be a copyright or trademark insinuating a Disney license on the bottom...this was also common as factories overseas and even a few in the US did indeed attempt to duplicate the marketed items as closely as possible. The most important thing to note about this set is the apparent age and condition...which is very good...remarkable from the time period it came from. Congratulations! Best Regards, Randy |
