Item Description
High quality, all felt doll stands 15" tall. Made in Italy by Lenci. While we have offered 1940s cowboy Mickey Mouse dolls by Lenci, this is the first we have seen of a Mickey doll done in the classic 1930s style. We surmise that this was produced in the 1930s Mickey Mouse revival period of the early 1970s although it could have been produced earlier as none of the several Disney/doll experts we consulted had ever heard of or seen this particular doll. Doll has articulated head and arms and comes w/loose foil on paper hang tag w/"Lenci Torino - Made In Italy" text. Tag shows heavy wear and is missing portion of foil covering. Good. Doll itself has lt. even aging and is Exc. overall. All Disney character dolls by Lenci are scarce in the US as they were not licensed to import them. The few examples that turn up were brought back by tourists.
