Kerry.. here is that watch. I dont know anything about it. Just wondered if you did?
I got it off ebay. The movement only says "made in u.s.a." and i cant find any other markings. The face says "Mickey Mouse Walt Disney 1935"
Well Lynn, I have to say, I'm 99.9% sure it to be a fantasy piece, there is a possibility that if was made for Disney as a collectors edition, but never seen any reference to it. It's a later model movement, around 1970-80, with nothing as to the copy right shown on the dial, it's likely a fake (I strongly believe ), definitely not any thing from the 1930's, and not a Al Horen creation. Still pretty neat Mickey, you've got one on me now, lol, Because I don't have this one.
Yea im knew better then to believe the 1935... but i didnt know anything else. It has no brand on it and that confused me. Thanks for the input tho.
The movement is a late model Bradley, I'll post a 1974 model Mickey with the back open,so you can see what I'm talking about.
Lynn, I've just posted it, if you want to compare the photos.

It looks great in your collection, some fantasy pieces, later in years, gather a following to collectors. I mention Al Horen earlier, an artist that took and made several variants of a Mickey Pocket watches, they are very collectable, and price is not friendly. I would agree with you that it will and should remain in your collection, just now you have a better insight to what you've got.
And the one I thought you were refering to earlier, the gold hunter cased with Mickey standing on the cover. could you post it , just to see if I called it right, lol
I just posted it Kerry...
