Okay, back to the subject. I was at a garage sale and saw the first Mickey on a table. I asked about it and she it was her daughters'. She said her daughter was 40. I thought I couldn't leave him on the table and end his career like that. I picked up the night light at a barn sale and it still works. Then another small Mickey. (He would be probably 30 years old) The little figurines are from when I took our youngest to Disney World 21 years ago as well as the large Mickey. And tada, the new Mickey......the rubber faced one, I just got from the French Hen Sale. I did finally figure out how to turn my pictures but forgot to turn this when downloaded so .....sorry. I picked him up and put him down. I talked to Linda about him. She could tell that I was really interested. It's not the kind of thing she has in her sales. I brought him home with me and cleaned him up. He is filled with sawdust. He has a voice box and a place where there used to be a pull string. I researched him on the net and he used to talk. I don't know if all of them were a mistake but the ones I saw were. They said, "I am Donald Duck." Does anyone know if you can rig it to talk again? There is am imprint on the back of his neck . He was born in 1974 and has the #10. The one on the net is #18. So I don't think there are alot of them. I don't think he is really valuable and he has been really loved, but he is cute, don't you think. Some early Mickeys can look a little mean. So there my folks,

Very cute collection. I have never been a huge Disney fan but recently over the last few years have been enjoying both of the parks her in the USA.
Debby, What a cute collection. My g.daughter used to have her room done in mickey mouse, when she was about 8 years old. I wish I had some of the things I had bought her, I would send them to you.:):) xoxo,Susie
Hi Debby, Your post brought back memories of our trip to Disney World. We went twice and I can still hear my daughter trying to talk her dad into getting her Mickey Mouse, but it would have required a plane seat to get him home. You are never to old for Disney World. I have never been to the one in California, even though we had relation that lived out there. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend
I have been a Disney lover all my life and went to Disneyland the year it opened. We are only 2 hours away, but i don't get there much. Maybe when we have grandchildren we will start going again.
What a fun collection.
I can't tell you anything about Mickey...wish I could. My oldest son had one we got him at Disney World back in 1980 but I don't know what happened to it. I would think the one with the mistake vocal would have a # to let you know if it was from that lot. Good luck!~Hug, Patti
Great collection...hope you find more pieces...My grand's are not into them unfortunately! Have a good evening!

I commented on your e-mail with the message below, but it got bounced back. The same thing happened last week when I responded to your e-mail. I didn't want you to think I was being rude by not responding.
I had to go and look at the picture to see if I agreed with you. She is
one of the first decorators whose books I purchased. I remember saving up
to buy American Country. Were you into Americana? Our first home in
Ventura was navy, maroon and cream with lots of Americana wooden pieces. I
still have some of them I drag out on patriotic holidays.
I don't know if you meant it as a compliment, but I took it as one since I
like Mary Emmerling.
The weekend is almost here!
