Both in original boxes. First is a pre-war 1930's N. N. Hill Brass Co. Mickey Mouse Phone in nice, colorful, crisp and complete original box showing girl answering phone. Phone itself is all pressed steel and when handle is lifted, a cardboard Mickey Mouse posed figure appears. When receiver is placed back down, only Mickey's head is visible. Second item is a very scarce 1950's Gong Bell Company TV Payphone with very colorful and crisp original box depicting many Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto and Jiminy Cricket. Phone itself is payphone-style, marked "Copyright Walt Disney Productions Mickey Mouse Club". Wall-mounted phone with great tin-litho and graphics, has crank on side which imitates speaking voice. Very difficult to find, especially in the box. CONDITION: N. N. Hill Brass Co. Mickey Mouse Phone does have some scratching and wear to receiver handle. Overall condition of lot is excellent. From the Jeff Landes Collection.
Condition: (Excellent).
