Vintage 1970s Bradley Time Elgin Disney Rare Earlier Pie Eye Mickey Mouse Watch

Description

This listing is for a Vintage Bradley Walt Disney Productions Earlier Pie Eye Mickey Mouse Orange Hands Wind Up Watch and Case in excellent condition.  There were two types of ‘Pie Eye’ Mickeys produced, the rarer earlier version was a lean Mickey with the right foot treading on the number 7 of the watch.  The sole of the right shoe displayed a lined tread.  The second version referred to as ‘Fat Boy’ displays a shorter rounder Mickey centered on the dial with no tread on the sole of the shoe. Apparently Bradley produced a version of this watch with red, purple, and orange hands. I don't know whether or not the color of the hands adds to the value or rarity of the Mickey Watch. This listing is the earlier version with the lined tread on the shoe and with this watch, the orange hands.
There are a few scuffs and light scratches on the chrome back plate as shown in the photos and there are also some light scuffs on the crystal.  The black leather strap has some light wear and someone decided for some reason to add another hole at the very tip of the leather strap as detailed in the photos.  The watch case measures 1.35” in diameter (35mm) and the black leather strap measures 8.10” long and 1” wide with snaps in the leather to hold the watch.  There is no original paperwork with this watch but there is an instruction sheet included.  This watch runs and keeps time and is a great working time piece for the Mickey Mouse or Disney collector!
