Item Description
Lot of three 17x17.5" silk hankies used by British magicians in the 1930s. Designed w/Disney's permission by Davenport's of London under the "Demon Magic" brand/series name. Hankies feature full body image of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and scene of them together as bride and groom. Other silks were produced for Pluto, Big Bad Wolf and Three Little Pigs. All have fold lines as stored over the years. Mickey hanky has a few tiny spots of staining/wear but is VF/Exc. Minnie has a few tiny snags and is also VF/Exc. Wedding hanky has tiny spot on Mickey's head but is o/w Exc. Both this and Mickey silk have Davenport's devil's head logo (hidden in Minnie's border). Hankies could be ordered individually or in different sets as indicated by included illustrated catalog. Catalog shows the other Disney hankies mentioned above as well as non-Disney hankies and other magic novelties. Staples have rusted away, leaving rust soiling and pages loose but complete. VG. Rare and first we've offered in our 48 years. Doug & Pat Wengel Collection.
