Let's look at some cool Japan from the 60's here. This is a Mickey Mouse, my own very
collection I must add. I bought this at Disneyland in the probably late 60's, early 70's and
this is a Mickey Mouse, guess what it is? Times up. Expert Village, you've got to move
faster on Expert Village. These are for toothbrushes. Pretty cool huh? But this is a Mickey Mouse
toothbrush holder. You can tell it's from the 60's because it says Walt Disney Productions
not Walt Disney Company which is later. So here?s a Mickey Mouth toothbrush holder. You
put the little toothbrushes. And the reason I picked this sample is because made in Japan
are a lot of utility cute character items. And a lot of the collectible characters, Disney,
Schultz, Peanuts. There are lots and lots of this stuff. And this stuff tends to be
more valuable as it's affiliated with a character because characters are hugely collectible.
Disney, Snoopy, Hanna-Barbara, all that kind of stuff. So if you find this kind of stuff
this is really good stuff, you can just snap it up. This is a, this one's really interesting
because it has the dates; it has everything on the bottom. United Features Syndicate.
It's 1958, 1966 the last time this one was made, 1970. These are all their syndicate
copyright dates. And I'm thinking, I'm not positive so don't write in to Expert Village
but I think this is a toothbrush holder. I may be wrong. But it's a Snoopy and we don't
care what it is because it's cute and it's functional. This Snoopy is probably worth,
in good condition, about $45 because no chips. This baby here you're looking at about $65,
because they're in great shape. Chipped half price. Not chipped full price. Look for condition.
