Sorry for your loss those years ago, love the idea of connection. Thanks for sharing.
I guess I should have told you a little info on this. It's a 1970-71 Mickey made by the Adorable Sales, commonly know as "Hippy Mickey". Notice the Betty Boob curl on his head. It was produced before the Disney Corp. had fits about copyright and trademark wars. Very collectable, but the true value in this piece is in your story (priceless), again sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing this piece and the history behind it.
I also have a 1970's Mickey Mouse Pocket Watch with a filigree pattern on the back. I just love it and wanted to find out more about it. But my pocket watch has the same kind of Mickey on it. Yours is priceless!
Sorry about your loss. I have come across several of these collector watches and how do I find out what they are worth? Can you lead me in the right direction. Thanks for your help and God Bless.
