Micky and Minnie Mouse. Plastic with magnet base. Micky (red) Minnie (yellow) two sided. Found in old lunchbox in late grandfather's garage with drawing pencils. Aprox. 1" wide and 1.5" hieght. Value ? Origin?
These little darlings were made by H. Fishlove and Company of Chicago. They were made with little Alnico magnets in the 1930's. There were many other figures made with these little magnets including Tricky Dogs, two little Scottie dogs. The magnets would repel or attract each other. If you held one figure so it repelled the other, they would appear to "dance" around.
Wow! I didn't think they were 90 years old. Thank you for all the information Mardi. Now if I knew the value. medek1
