(Ingersoll, 1936) An early Ingersoll Mickey Mouse pocket watch and fob. This watch is known as the "Bearded Mickey" version, due to the unusual pink hue on Mickey's face that resembles a beard. At the time, Mickey's appeal was worldwide and the studio capitalized on it through their merchandise representative Kay Kamen and his army of licensees. This 2" diameter silvered brass case pocket watch was marketed in England and includes design elements which were not seen in the U.S. version, such as the pink beard and details on the gloves and shoes. The watch has some wear from use, but overall is in very good condition. The original box and fob token are worn but still exhibit well. The watch will likely require repair to fully function.
