Disney Collectors -need Some Help - Very Rare

[theantiquetiger]

My boss has been telling me about a Mickey Mouse animal cracker box he owns. Back in the 70's, he worked for the State Archives and he was told to clean out a store room and throw everything away. He said he was 1/2 through before he looked at what he was discarding. It was a bunch of packages that companies send to the state to have their trademark registered with the state. He kept a bunch of old flour and coffee sacks, and this Mickey Mouse animal cracker box. I went to his house to get it from him because he said he just had it stuck in the top of his closet. I took one look at this box and about fell over. I now have it in a top load comic book holder on a card back, in an acid free bag. He asked me what I think it is worth, and I have no clue. I told him I would not be surprised if it is over $1000 because there was no Mickey Mouse animal crackers.

When I Google it, I get zero hits.

I know there are a few Disney collectors here and I was hoping some one may know something. The lihograph on this thing is perfect except the one pic with the crease through it. The only thing else wrong with the box is one of the inside flaps is torn off but present. Luckily there is no picture on it.

Sorry for the blurry pics, took w/o a flash because it is inside the bag now.

That is freakin awesome. I would contact Antiques Roadshow or the History Detectives on the Discovery Channel and see if they can dig up anything. The art on that looks like it's from the 40s or so.

this is the best idea or do completed ebay searches for unproduced disney products

The reason you probably couldn't find it is because it is probably a knockoff. Notice the misspelling of Mickie, opposed to Mickey.

Unfortunately its not mine. I just have great appreciation for stuff like these. I was wondering since he told me the company sent this to the state to register the trademark with the state and I cannot find any info on this box, that there maybe only 48 of these known in existence.

If or when I find the value of it, I may make him an offer. He doesn't want to sell it but his wife does, so you know what that means, its for sale!!
