Any Mickey Mouse Watch Experts out there ?

Hello,

If there is anyone out there that may be able to provide any info or possible value of this 1934 ? Ingersoll Mickey Mouse watch ?

It is worth a lot of money if it is real, especially since it seems to have the original watchband. It will be worth even a lot more if it also has the box.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately no box, but it supposedly runs well. I am picking it up this week.

It is in fact a 1933 Ingersoll watch. From June 1933 to June 1935, 2,500,000 were sold by Ingersoll who in turn paid Disney a $750,000 sun in licensing fees. Back in 1933, they were sold for $2.69 each at Sears and $2.98 at Macy's. The original box would have had Minnie, Mickey, Clarabelle Cow and Plutos on the box. Disney collectors would happily pay several hundred dollars for one if in the original box as it is a must-have.

It's a 1934 Mickey Watch, not a 1933 - The difference is the size and placement of the 5 & 7 on the watch face.

Thanks

Ah right... the book I have just says about Ingersoll watches and not specific ones
