Marx Walt Disney Mickey Mouse Lite-Up Pin 1973 Pull String Light My Nose HK-5067

From the collection of the late Mark Mitchell, a Disney character artist for more than 30 years, comes this 1973 Marx Walt Disney Character Mickey Mouse "Lite-Up" pin. Pull the little jingle bell on its cord and Mickey's red nose lights up, a novelty in the spirit of the pull-the-bell, light-up-nose Santa pins of earlier decades, now with Disney's most famous mouse. It still carries its original 79 cent Woolworth price sticker on the back of the card, a nice bit of five-and-dime history for Disneyana and Marx collectors.
