In 1938 Madame Alexander produced 16 different Disney character marionettes. Included in this lot are two - Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse who are each 9" tall. Each marionette has well-crafted replacement wood controller unit w/strings. Mickey and Minnie have painted composition heads, hands and feet w/wooden bodies and elastic legs. Fabric outfits. Mickey has stitched tag on back of shirt reading "Walt Disney's Marionettes - Mickey Mouse By Madame Alexander." Minnie is missing tag. Outfits have aged. Composition parts show tiny scattered traces of paint wear, Mickey and Minnie's heads have some scattered hairline crazing/dust soiling. Minnie's hands have obvious paint wear. Fine overall. All marionettes in this series are scarce.
