Question RE: Dean Mickey Mouse Dolls from the 20's/30's

[Marc-Barr]

Yeah,what's confusing is they made several dolls very similar but at the same time different.I agree. Mickey is pretty scary in these. He's had "some work" done over the years. I prefer the Mickey from the early 30's. I did look into Hakes but I may take a closer look at them. MANY THANKS again for everyone's help!

If I am correct Charlotte Clark made the first Mickey dolls for Disney so try that route.  HOWEVER....because she couldn't keep up with the demand, Disney gave her permission and she created patterns for people to make their own at home!!!!!  



Knickerbocker also made Mickeys and their originals ones were similar.

Is this yours?

The first one listed on Worthpoint is the closest. They made so many and they are all so similar,that is what has made it difficult to determine. I was figuring a $300 price on each,so I guess I have priced them fairly. Many thanks again for all the helpful advice. SO MUCH appreciated!
