An amazing, rare family of early velvet Minnie Mouse triplets c.1920s/30s. They’re virtually identical and in unusually good condition. The Minnies are unjointed with wired bendy limbs, and have retained most of their original features. They stand 17 cms (6.5″) high on card-lined feet.
Each Minnie has black-metal painted eyes, felt ears and hands, and cloth foot-pads. Their facial features are hand-painted, and they’re stuffed with kapok. The Minnies are all wearing their own linen bloomers that form part of their bodies. Additionally, someone has made identical shirts and knitted dresses for them, with different coloured neck ties to tell them apart.
Minnie-Mo (yellow tie) has replaced felt hands and also a replaced long black cord tail. She’s in very good condition with just a tiny loss of paint from her eyes.
Minnie-May (red tie) is a little different from her sisters with blue velvet arms and legs (mostly faded to grey), and cream felt hands and cream velvet feet. There’s a little wear to both her wrists, and some slight paint loss from her eyes, but she still retains her original black rubber tail. Minnie-May also has a tiny plastic Mickey Mouse charm pinned to her belt.
Minni-Marj (green tie) has a replaced tail like Minni-Mo. Also, a few stitched repairs to her wrists and the side of her right foot. Otherwise, she’s in great shape.
The Minnies are a marvellous collection of early Disney characters, each with their own personality. I’m not sure who made them, but it will have been one of the leading manufacturers of the day. Thanks for looking x
