DISNEY 1930’s “MICKEY MOUSE CAST IRON FRENCH MADE BANK”-RARE “DEPOSE”VERSION+EX! RARE HIGH GRADE “CAST IRON” VERSION: DISNEY 1930’s MICKEY MOUSE FRENCH MADE “HEAVY METAL” BANK. THE BANK MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 6″ X 3 1/2″ DEEP X 7 3/4 TALL. THE BANK WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 1 POUND 27 OUNCES. THERE WAS ALSO A MUCH MORE AVAILABLE “ALUMINUM” SUBSTRATE VERSION OFFERED. I HAVE ENCLOSED ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED REFERENCES(TED HAKE) FOR THE TWO VERSIONS OF THIS VERY SPECIAL HISTORICAL BANK FOR YOUR REVIEW. THE HAND-PAINTED PIECE IS IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINIMAL COSMETIC DISTRACTIONS AND PROVIDES. THERE WERE ATLEAST 2 HAND-PAINTED COLOR VERSIONS OFFERED. THE COLOR VERSION OFFERED IN THIS LISTING IS GUARANTEED TO BE ORIGNAL. I HAVE SEEN THIS COLOR VERSION ATLEAST 3 TIMES OVER MY 30 YEARS OF COLLECTING VINTAGE PRE 1967 DISNEYANA. THIS VERSION HAS THE RARE INCISED MARKED. TEXT PLACED JUST BELOW MICKEY’S NECK AREA ON HIS BACKSIDE. THIS IS THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND. VERSION THAT CAME TO MARKET. I HAVE PROVIDED SOME CLOSE-UP PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE AREA THAT IS INSCRIBED WITH “DEPOSE”. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO PHOTOGRAPH A CLEAR IMAGE OF THE INCISED IMPRINT DUE TO RECEIVING MANY FLASH-BACKS NO MATTER HOW I TOOK THE SHOT. IT IS, BY FAR, MUCH EASIER TO SEE THE TEXT IN PERSON. MOST EXPERTS WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THIS BANK’S HISTORY PROVIDE US WITH THE BEST PROVIDENCE FOR THE SAME. VERSION IS STILL UNKNOWN. BANK VERSION WAS MOST LIKELY MADE BY VOCATIONAL STUDENTS IN FRANCE DURING THE 1930’S. THE COIN SLOT IS LOCATED BETWEEN MICKEY’S EARS ON HIS BACKSIDE. THE BANK CONSISTS OF 2 PIECES HELD TOGETHER BY 2 METAL BOLT SET. I HAVE NOT DISTURBED THE BOLT IN ANY WAY. PLEASE VIEW MY ENCLOSED PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE BEST TOOL TO USE IN DETERMINING THE HIGH-GRADE QUALITY OF THIS VERY SPECIAL HAND-PAINTED METAL BANK FOR YOURSELF.
