Item Description

All of these names appear on the back panel of the tin along w/"Par Aut. De Walt Disney Mickey-Mouse" text. Hinged lid features image of Mickey Mouse standing next to Minnie Mouse who looks in a mirror and brushes her hair. Pluto sits between them. A second frightened and smaller Mickey tugs on his larger counterpart's tail. Front and back panels show Mickey and Minnie being chased by a lion. The right and left side panels feature Mickey next to Minnie who sits on a log. Interior has scattered luster wear w/a few small spots of oxidation. Exterior shows scattered wear w/bare metal showing though on raised ridges around top and on lid. Lid has some scattered denting, but not too distracting and really only visible in reflected light. Overall appearance remains totally bright and clean w/high gloss finish. Fine. Graphic and impressive tin. From the Maurice Sendak Collection and comes with COA.
