Item Description
3-3/8" tall beautiful figurine by the famous German company. c. 1932. This is #570 in the series w/incised number under base along w/"Rosenthal" company mark. Expressive pose of Mickey Mouse hefting kettlebell, a weight resembling a cannonball w/a handle, used in the weight-lifting sport of kettlebell lifting. This example is an extremely rare as produced unpainted figurine, in all white w/no black accents. For more information, see the Rosenthal article in Disneyana #77 (2013). Hand not holding kettlebell has been reattached at wrist, this repair blends somewhat. Despite repair, figurine displays bright, glossy and clean. All Rosenthal figurines are rare, particularly in the US as they were never distributed here. Rosenthals are considered to be the finest Mickey Mouse figurines ever produced. Ex-Maurice Sendak Collection.
