This was my father's cereal bowl. He was born in 1927. I have seen a Mickey Mouse cereal bowl on television and it was selling for 900 dollars about 15 years ago. Does anyone have any information that they could share with me about the Minnie Mouse bowl? It was made in Bavaria, Walt Disney used his entire name, Walter E. Disney on the verification tag. Thank you.
I think it was made by Carl Schumann. Disney was a shrewd businessman, and this would have been made under license, the transfer print authorized by him. Below is a link to the maker’s mark, and it fits into the period of when your father would have used it:

Thank you for the information. My father was born in 1927 and the Schumann maker's mark fits that time line. Thank you for your response and help.
to add my input, would be post 1928-29 as Mickey wasn't drawn and then marketed until then, I would venture to say 1930's
Thanks kerry10456 When was Minnie created, a year or so later?
