I've been staying off the Flee-bay market lately, but did a little browsing and found a lot of 18 mechanical Mickey Mouse watches for auction, opening bid was $25 bucks, well looked through what was there and seen a few "Goodies" in the lot, all watches were vintage and fairly good condition by the photos, 17 of them were we worth the opening bid almost by themselves. So long story, I opened them and forgot about them, until I received invoice for 30 bucks... opening bid and S/H.... WOW, no other bidders. Now the proud owner of 18 pre 1976 Mickey mouse watches....I'd I bet you dollars to donuts, most are runners. So at less than 2 bucks apiece, I'm pretty happy. I see some from the late b40's-50, the 60's and the 70's...
Thanks for looking and see if you spot the best Goodies in the lot

again always appreciated !!
Great score!!! What's up with the one watch where he is wearing blue pants and red shirt?
Ok let me try this ... Picture #1, first and fourth from left .... Picture #2, second, fourth and fifth ... Picture #3, not sure ... Picture #4, each one looks unique ...
Thanks Trey....that's a 1970 "Hippy" Mickey, he's wearing bell-bottoms and string leather Jacket holding a flower....
the other is another variant of same...but they are commonly called The "Hippy" Mickey LOL
I figured it was disco Mickey LOL or Saturday Night Fever Mickey:)
LOL, both are different in that holding a flower in one and a sign with the word "LOVE" on the other....there are animated variants of these also, were the flower waves back and forth as the seconds click off
Eye4, yep all those are, basically trick question all are but1 in #4 & #3 won't be sure until look closer

Great buy. #3 is picture 1 has a sideways Mickey so it is either extra valuable or a knock off.
Thank you Mani and fortapache... @ fortapache, that is a 1952 Ingersoll, when someone in the past has worked on it, didn't get the dial in right spot before reassembly, lol
that's cool you can sure pick up some hidden goodies in those watch lots I did 2 last week
Thanks Mickey and WARWAGON64, I'm sure I can have most if not all of these up and running in the matter of a couple days...The best of the group IMO is the English Ingersoll LTD pocket watch with sweep second hand....hard to bet a good English made pocket watch... there's a couple "Bubble" Bradley's and a couple Birthday edition is the lot, so all in all 2 bucks apiece...no complaints here :-)
Picture #3 ... Based on these, I picked a similar one yesterday ... Mine seems to be a Bradley Swiss "Pie Eye" ... info absorbed from the bay ... Wow, can there be any more versions ?
Good Morning Eye4, oh my yes Bradley got the contract from Disney Jan 1971 and literally flooded the market from that point on with tons of different variants, sizes and shapes....I'll be watching for your newest find
These character watches are very interesting. I started b.s. with a guy who worked there and said his mother-in-law lived with him and collected what he called "the rat" ... I told him they were perfect for collecting on many levels ...
You betcha, not to mention the "Fun" factor...sure to always get a reaction of some sorts no matter where or who might be present. Some of people that have the best opinions and comment are usually the last ones you'd expect to be interested
Howdy Mickey and Perry, thanks for dropping in, you're always a welcome set of patrons I enjoy seeing pop-up on my stuff, @ Perry, I just couldn't pass a bundle of smalls to sort through LOL
Thanks again Guys, very appreciated!!
Thank You bladerunner22 for stopping by and showing the support, very appreciated!!
Thank you mikelv85 & Sean, ole buddy for looking and sharing the loves, very appreciated!!
UPDATE: I received these in the mail today, with a note from the seller. In the note seller had sent me 3 additional watches he had located and passed them along also...Top notice eBay seller for sure, I can guarantee this seller will have a loyal customer from now on...
Very nice ....
Thanks Eye4, this seller is truly a smart marketer...one sale to me and already a loyal customer
