First let me say, "Nice Mickey". And yes yours is a vintage Mickey, these are know as the 1966 Unauthorized Mickey watch. These were made from 1966 to around 1970, but were not made under any agreement with the Disney Company. The colors on this one are still very strong and the gold tone casing looks very good. Again nice yardsale find, congrats.
I posted response to you query on mine, but will also post here. I looked it up in a price guide, but I believe they're off. The suggest 100-150, but I've seen several of them sell on-line auction with an average of $40. If I were to ask a buy-it-now price, I'd go with $49 or best offer. and take 5-9 dollars less, but that's what I'd do.
I need to contact the writers of the price guide and sell them about 20-25 of these to them for 75 and we'd all be very happy. lol. them because they got them for around half price and me because I don't think I've ever paid more than 25-30 for one.
I appreciate all your info and taking the time to answer me so quickly!
