Description: | The famous cartoon character, Mickey Mouse, was created by Walt Disney in 1928. A year later, the London manufacturer Dean's Rag Book Company, started making these dolls under licence to Disney. This example was given to the donor in 1930. Originally, the toy would also have had a satin bow around its neck and a rubber tail, although these are now missing.
Mickey Mouse toy made of velveteen stuffed with kapok, while the ears, hands and shoes are made of felt. The facial features have been printed onto the fabric. The doll has a wire `Evripose' frame, enabling the limbs to be moulded into any position. It is dressed in orange velveteen shorts with blue-green buttons. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Childhood Highlights Toys Social history Dolls and Toys | Temporal: | 1920 - 1940
