The earliest Mickey Mouse watch advert I can find for you Kerry!
It comes from the Kingston(NY) Daily Freeman, Saturday Evening, June 10th, 1933.
Hope you like it!

VERY VERY Nice, this is probably the oldest one I've seen also. This would have been released 14 days after their debut. Love this, Again this is the oldest ad I've ever seen.

Glad you like it, buddy.
I've been doing a lot of ad searching the last couple of weeks for Mybulova.com, came across a Mickey ad from the 50's, so I went on a deep search and recover op!
LIKE IT, LOVE IT, like I said earlier, this is probably the oldest around. The Mickey Mouse Timepieces, didn't get their production approval until May 27, 1933, two week earlier. Then they were sold at the World's Fair as a second to the World's fair pocket watches. These sold much better and reports from the fair, states at one time they sold over 5,000 in one day.
Cheers, Kevin!
