This 1950s battery operated Mickey Mouse magician toy is part of a selection of Disney-related items to be included in Potter & Potter’s Steiff, Toys and Pop Culture auction to be held on September 25 in Chicago. Mickey, dressed in a magician’s cape and tuxedo, raises and lowers his top hat to make a chicken on top of the table disappear. The lithographed tin and fabric toy was made in Japan by Linemar and retains the original box. The estimate is $400-700.
