Toy has spring plunger mechanism on back and depicts Mickey Mouse holding pair of drumsticks and has jointed arms. Separate tin litho drum is attached to pants and has "Mickey Mouse" name on front side and "Nifty Jazz Drummer" name on drumhead. This is variety w/drum in orange color variety w/green bottom and green/white drumhead (toy was also produced in red/white/blue color variety, see previous item).
