Alittle about me since I am a new member. I am a novice antique toy dealer and a major toy collector. I am a member of several toy forums.
This item is not for sale, just doing research for friend:
My boss knows I dab in antiques and has been telling me about a Mickey Mouse animal cracker box he owns. Back in the 70's, he worked for the State Archives and he was told to clean out a store room and throw everything away. He said he was 1/2 through before he looked at what he was discarding. It was a bunch of packages that companies send to the state to have their trademark registered with the state. He kept a bunch of old flour and coffee sacks, and this Mickey Mouse animal cracker box. I went to his house to get it from him because he said he just had it stuck in the top of his closet. I took one look at this box and about fell over. I now have it in a top load comic book holder on a card back, in an acid free bag. He asked me what I think it is worth, and I have no clue. I told him I would not be surprised if it is over $1000 because there was no Mickey Mouse animal crackers.
When I Google it, I get zero hits.
I was hoping some one may know something here. The lithograph on this thing is perfect except the one pic with the crease through it. The only thing else wrong with the box is one of the inside flaps is torn off but present. Luckily there is no picture on it.
My post count is too low to post pics, so if you wan to see a pic take the spaces out behind http and before JPG or if some one can post the picture:
