Very scarce. Four versions made, this being the one of Mickey dancing on front. On back, says "Smile Please" and shows Mickey Mouse taking a picture with an old-time tripod camera. Reads "If you only pull my ear, you will see my tongue appear. Place a coin upon my tongue, save your money while you're young.". Beautiful tin lithography, green, yellow, red and white. When a coin is deposited, Mickey's tongue comes out. Original tongue and original trap. Stamped "Germany" on the bottom. CONDITION: Some minor scratching to base and some spots of wear to Mickey's ears. Very desirable for the serious Disney and tin bank collector. From the Jeff Landes Collection.
Condition: (Excellent).
