Mickey Mouse Waddle Book with Complete Waddles, Dust Jacket and Banner (Blue Ribbon Press, 1934). While any gathering of veteran Disney collectors will result in a wide difference of opinion regarding virtually all things Disney, they will always reach an agreement on one thing: the Mickey Mouse Waddle Book is the most difficult to find and most desirable of all collectible Disney books. Published in 1934 by Blue Ribbon Press, their initial advertising noted: "You remember how we put across the Pop-Ups - and our initial appropriation is doubled for the Waddle Books". Unfortunately, the public did not respond to these with the same interest they did for their Pop-Up book series and the Waddle Books quickly passed from public view. Waddles were colored articulated character punch-outs found in the back of the book. They would be punched out, assembled and then could waddle or walk down a separate punch-out inclined pathway. All four assembled character Waddles are present: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, and Tanglefoot. Three of the four "empty" punch-out sheets are also present, and a reproduction runway/ramp is included. The book itself shows relatively little wear, with a complete spine, merely minor spine/edge/corner wear to the covers, and great sharp cover colors. Interior page quality is excellent overall, even with one interior page displaying some scuffing and a few small holes near the top border of the page. The fact that the very rare dust jacket is present is a bonus; the moderate wear is most noticeable along the folds. The paper quality of the jacket is good, with no fading. The beautifully illustrated "banner" or "band" (originally fit around envelope containing pathway and brass pieces for Waddles) is complete with nice color and relatively little wear. While the ramp itself is a reproduction, this lot does include the original waddle runway/ramp envelope, which has on the outside printed instructions for setting up the runway; a rare item in it's own righ

Mickey Mouse Book (Bibo and Lang, 1930). The first Mickey Mouse book, published in 1930 by Bibo and Lang, makes this a truly key artifact. It measures 9" x 12", and contains drawings by the Walt Disney Studios. This is the even more scarce first printing, which uses the words "Kill him" in a song (referring to the big bad villain) that were removed from later printings. There is just slight shelf wear, a small tear at the bottom of the cover, minute splitting at the bottom of the spine; otherwise this jewel is in Excellent condition and contains all pages, including pages 9 & 10, which are often missing. The original owner's name is penciled lightly across the top of the front cover. Printed in the U.S.A. Overall condition is from Very Good to Fine. Overstreet 2005 GD 2.0 value = $1,150; FN 6.0 value = $5,400. From the Larry Jacobs Collection.

The Mickey Mouse Box (Whitman, 1939). Published by Whitman in 1939, the individual volumes featured in this boxed set occasionally surface -- but, due in large part to the inexpensive pulp stock used for the interior pages, locating sharp copies remains a challenge. Only the most advanced Disney collectors are aware that these five volumes -- Timid Elmer, Mother Pluto, The Ugly Duckling, The Practical Pic, and The Farmyard Symphony -- were also issued by Whitman in a boxed edition. The books themselves are just about as close to Mint condition as you'll ever see. The Mickey Mouse Box housing the books is so scarce as to be virtually non-existent. This one is complete - no fading, all corners intact, with no taping. There is some light spotting, foxing, and wear to the extremities. Truly exceptional - this is the only one we've ever seen. From the Larry Jacobs Collection.

Donald Duck and Clara Cluck Cut-Out Book (Whitman, 1937). Perhaps the greatest of all the Disney Cut-Out books is the 1937 Whitman Publishing Company's Donald Duck and Clara Cluck Cut-Out Book. In reality, it was a paper doll book, but Whitman obviously carefully avoided that term in order not to alienate young male consumers. The oversized book covers had perforated die cut figures of Donald Duck in one half, and Clara Cluck in the other, ready to punch out and dress in cut-out fashions from the book's interior pages. Complete, uncut copies of this book are now virtually non-existent. As you can readily see, vintage Cut-Outs are among the most fun and gratifying of all Disney toys to collect. Finding nice examples of these made-for-kids-to-destroy paper toys takes years of patience and perseverance. But once you do acquire an uncut item, you really have to fight the temptation to get out the scissors and paste and put these fun things together, just like the publishers intended. Measures 13.25" x 18.25". In Very Fine condition. From the Larry Jacobs Collection.

Mickey Mouse and Minnie at Macy's Giveaway (Whitman, 1934) Condition: FN/VF. Measures 3.5" x 3.5" softcover, Big Little Book style book. Has 144 pages with many full page story illustrations throughout. Nice wrap-around cover includes large image of Mickey on front, smaller image on spine plus text on back "Merry Christmas To You From Santa Claus at Macy's".

Scattered trace of edge wear, with corner crease on front at bottom corner, also a slight crease on the back cover, which carries through several interior pages. Cover color remains bold, with strong binding. One of the nicest examples known.

The dust jacket is complete with no fading.

Donald Duck on Trapeze Toy with Box (Geo. Borgfeldt Corp., 1930s). The desirability and collectibility of early Disney character toys is legendary. Many a friendship has been strained or lost in the pursuit of certain rare Disney toys. A toy such as this... Donald Duck on Trapeze. The early 1930s Borgfeldt celluloid toy offered in the Larry Jacobs Collection is perhaps the finest to be offered in years. The delicate toy is in remarkable condition; metal portions of the trapeze show virtually no wear and the celluloid long-billed Donald is completely intact and reflects only a few minute scuffs. The box is outstanding. Nice sharp colors with no fading. There are no corner/edge separations. Corners and edges show some minor nicking; couple of box top creases, one which extends along one side of bottom flap. Overall Very Fine condition.

Mickey Mouse Movie Projector with Box (Keystone Manufacturing Company, 1934). Even in a collection of the quality of the Larry Jacobs Collection, certain items are so visually attractive that they stand out from the rest... and this is the case with the Keystone Mickey Mouse Movie Projector. Produced in 1934 by the Keystone Manufacturing Company in Boston, the large illustrated box features among the most attractive early Disney images we've seen. The projector itself is complete and features two boxed Disney films. Nearly as eyecatching as the box, the dark lime green metal projector features a nifty color name/image of The Mouse. With the original instruction book present, the projector shows only minimal wear. A close examination of the box reveals some chipping along edges/corners, corner separations, light scratching/scuffing; overall in excellent condition. If you want to impress the members of your local collectors club at their next meeting, this is the one! Absolutely choice vintage Disneyana. From the Larry Jacobs Collection.

Mickey Mouse Library and Toy (David McKay Company, 1931). Cataloging the Larry Jacobs collection produced a number of eye-opening surprises -- and this was one of the most enjoyable. The Mickey Mouse Library and Toy does not contain a toy -- but does feature three Near Mint early David McKay Disney books: The Adventures of Mickey Mouse (1931), Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf (1934) and Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? (1933). All three books are in outstanding condition; they do not appear to have ever been fully opened. Binding is tight, and paper quality is wonderful. All have just a tad of corner bumping and the very lightest possible wear. We cannot imagine finding sharper, more beautiful copies. The box itself (which features a crayoned "1935" inside) is complete with no split corners, no tape, and no fading. A single small edge tear, some wear to corners, light edge wear, and few light scuffs. How do such things exist? This one is rare and outstanding! From the Larry Jacobs Collection.

Coo Coo Car with Box (Marx, circa 1920s). From the 1920s through the 1950s, the Louis Marx Toy Company produced an innovative series of vehicles known variously as Crazy Cars, Eccentric Cars, Funny Cars, Whoopee Cars, Dipsy Cars, Coo Coo Cars, Tricky Autos and Back and Forth Cars. They were called those names because of the crazy, eccentric, cuckoo, tricky movements they made, whirling around in unpredictable patterns, to the delight of the children watching them. This 8" long lithographed tin wind-up Coo Coo Car, has the action of a bucking bronco with a butler like figure at the wheel, who stands up and falls back down in his seat. The wind up movement sends the jalopy into erratic spins. Both the box (with all flaps) and the car are in exceptional condition. Needless to say, the car is in working condition.

Boxed Set of the Seven Dwarfs Books (Whitman, 1938). The release of "Snow White" in 1938 resulted in a flood of related Disney licensed memorabilia. There were a number of Snow White related books released -- by Whitman, Grosset and Dunlap and others -- both in the U.S.A. and overseas. This particular Whitman series includes a separate book for each of the Seven Dwarfs and Snow White herself. Printed on an inexpensive pulp stock with somewhat heavier stock covers, they were designed to be read and colored by younger readers. While individual volumes can be located, almost all show some coloring and wear. The Larry Jacobs Collection, however, presents us with perhaps the finest complete set to appear on the market in many years. The eight separate books in this boxed set show virtually no wear. The covers are nice and bright, interior page quality remains surprisingly good. The original box -- so elusive that even many top Disney collectors have not seen one -- is complete. Box lid images are sharp and clear and there are no corner separations. There are some light moisture markings, edge/corner wear, and a bit of chipping/scuffing to box lid. One corner is separated on bottom of box, and there is some moisture marking and overall light wear. Even in a collection of this scope, this particular item stands out.

Snow White Seiberling Latex Statuettes with Box (Seiberling Latex, circa 1937). A number of different factors were responsible for the huge success of Snow White after its release in 1937: the large number of catchy tunes from the soundtrack, the quality of the first feature length animated feature, and Disney's influence on the American public. But whatever you ascribe Snow White's success to, the net result was a large number of spinoff merchandising products. One of the earliest was this lovely large latex set of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs produced by Seiberling in 1937. Snow White measures 9" tall, and the entire set presents a stark contrast to the smaller sets of bisques made by other companies. Snow White and all Seven Dwarfs are present. As with virtually all latex figurines of this vintage, all show cracking and some mis-shaping. Still, colors are sharP and all are complete. The dwarf figures are Fine to Very Fine, the ever so scarce Snow White figure is complete and Good. The oversized box is likewise complete with interior insert for each statue to fit in. While showing considerable wear -- edge/corner chipping, some corner separation, overall scuffing, light spotting, some taping -- finding a complete set remains a significant obstacle for Snow White collectors.

Mickey Mouse Pocket Watch with Original Fob and Box (Ingersoll, 1930s). In the minds of many Disney collectors, this watch is at the top of their Disney collecting list. And, if you could only find one Mickey Mouse Pocket Watch -- this would be the one. The watch itself shows only very light wear, with a bit of browning around small figures on the small second hand disk. This long-stemmed example includes a complete Mickey on the back of the watch -- no noticeable rubbing, few very light surface scratches. The watch fob (some light surface scratches) is not only present -- but also still has its original leather band! The small separate Ingersoll Watch guarantee is complete and the box is in exceptional condition -- some light wear to corners, but bright with no fading and opens easily. While standard reference books generally show pictures of the inside of the box with the wording "Complete with Fob" printed below "Ingersoll Mickey Mouse Pocket Watch" on the inside of the lid, this one has a small cardboard strip insert with reads "Price $1.50 Complete With Fob" inserted over "Complete With Fob". We believe that the strip insert was only present in the earliest distributed watches -- and that later ones featured only the information printed on the lid. If correct, this almost certainly represents the earliest state of this major piece of Disneyana. Well worth a long look, strong consideration and a winning bid! From the Larry Jacobs Collection.

Captain Marvel Watch with Box & Price Tag (Marvel Importing, 1948). In the 1940s, two crazes were sweeping America: superheroes and wristwatches. Occasionally they collided, with all the power and beauty of this scarce 1948 Captain Marvel wristwatch, produced by Fawcett Publications. In Mint condition in its original box. Few Captain Marvel watches have survived in perfect Mint condition, especially since youngsters were usually very excited about wearing a brand new character watch, not storing it away unused in its original packaging. Even the wrap-around price band showing the $5.95 original price is still undisturbed, attached to the red watch band exactly as issued. This is one of the scarcest character watches of the era to find in perfect condition in its original display box. The exceptional graphics of the interior are bright and clean, having been protected from light and all other elements since 1948. The interior box backdrop is in Excellent condition.

Heavy square bound volumes, this contains four large and beautiful Pop-Up pictures. Best of all, the very rare dust jacket is present. The jacket is about as complete as you'll ever see - some scuffing/light aging (most noticeable around edges), wear around edges, some light creasing, single small back cover nick, small spot near top left hand corner of back of jacket, and overall light wear. The heavy interior stock shows only light aging and very light overall wear. As with virtually all copies, the weight of the heavy stock used has resulted in some weakening of the binding. There is no color fading on either the jacket or book cover. A book that most Disney collectors only dream about having, this is a superior copy of one of the best of all Disney books. The dust jacket is in Very Good to Fine condition; the book is Near Mint. From the Larry Jacobs Collection.

Mickey Mouse Presents Bucky and Bo' - British (Dean & Son, undated) Condition: FN. While American collectors are keenly aware of the variety of Disney Big Little Books, many remain unaware of a similar series published by Dean and Son in London during the early part of the 1930s. Usually referred to as "British Big Little Books," offered here is a nice copy of Mickey Mouse Presents Bucky and Bo'. Featuring an inexpensive interior pulp stock, this differs somewhat from their American counterparts in that the pages are somewhat thicker -- and paper stock remains better than most Big Little Books you'll see. There is some overall light wear and possibly some spine strengthening work has been done. Not listed in Overstreet, there are less than 20 known copies of this very rare item. From the Larry Jacobs Collection.

Mickey Mouse Handful of Fun Book and Promotional Display Sign (Eisendrath, 1930s). During the 1933-1936 period, the Eisendrath Glove Company produced a number of different styles of Mickey Mouse gloves. Finding a pair of such gloves is a challenge for any Disney collector -- but infinitely more difficult to locate is this gorgeous Eisendrath Glove Display -- which includes a copy of their rare giveaway Mickey Mouse booklet: A Handful of Fun. So difficult to find that even many advanced Disney collectors have never even seen this booklet -- finding one affixed to the original promotional display makes this a possible one-of-a-kind item! The 12-page booklet, which features mazes, puzzles, etc. (and Mickey on every page), is complete. Three games and puzzles have been completed neatly and lightly in pencil; there is some overall wear: scuffing, creasing, few small edge tears, etc. The display backdrop likewise is worn: some chipping/scuffing. The cardboard "foldout" display piece remains attached to the reverse side. Just about as neat as "things Mickey" get. Truly an exceptional piece of Disneyana. Overall grade is VG-. From the Larry Jacobs Collection.

Published by Saalfield in 1933 and measuring a large 10" x 19.5", this Saalfield book is printed on heavy stock in full color and is not really a "cut-out book" -- but in reality is a "punch-out book" -- and is complete unpunched!

There is no cover fading, no folding/no creasing. The front cover has a bit of scuffing and there is a small chipped area along bottom spine, small nick at top of spine; overall light wear.
