FIRST VERSION
EXAMPLE
:
DISNEY 1939 " WALKING" PINOCCHIO MARX TIN WIND-UP TOY WITH BUILT-IN KEY.
WHEN THE FIRST MANUFACTURING RUN FOR THIS TOY WAS MADE IT CAME AS YOU SEE IN THIS VERSION:
THE NAME "
PINOCCHIO
" WAS NOT PRINTED ON THE FRONT OF PINOCCHIO'S HAT.
THE MOST COMMON VERSION SEEN ALL THE TIME IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THIS ONE EXCEPT IT HAS "
PINOCCHIO
" PRINTED ON THE HAT.
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING AND SELLING PRE-1968 VINTAGE DISNEYANA FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND HAVE PERSONALLY HAD 4 OR 5 OF THIS VERSION 1 TOY COME THROUGH MY COLLECTION DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
​IRONICALLY, THE VERY LAST ONE I FOUND WAS ONLY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND SOLD THE SAME ON EBAY QUICKLY THEREAFTER.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MINT VERSION OF THIS TOY!
MR. DISNEY DECIDED TO STOP PRODUCTION OF THIS EARLY FIRST VERSION AND THEN ADDED THE PRINTING OF "PINOCCHIO" TO THE FRONT OF THE HAT AND RE-STARTED PRODUCTION.
ONLY A SMALL QUANTITY OF THE FIRST VERSION TOYS WERE SOLD
BEFORE MR. DISNEY ENDED THE PRODUCTION OF THE SAME.
THE TOY MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2" X 2 1/2" X 8 1/2" TALL.
THE TOY IS BEAUTIFULLY LITHOGRAPHED WITH PINOCCHIO'S IMAGE. THE COLORS ARE AS
VIVID
AS YOU CAN HOPE FOR!
THE ENTIRE TOY HAS A TIN SUBSTRATE, INCLUDING THE NOSE.
AFTER WOUND AND RELEASED, PINOCCHIO ROCKS
SIDE-TO-SIDE
WITH HIS EYES MOVING
UP-AND-DOWN
.
THE TOY'S MECHANICAL ABILITIES PERFORM LIKE-NEW.
INCLUDED WITH THIS INCREDIBLE TOY IS ITS SCARCE "ORIGINAL" BOX IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINIMAL COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS(MOSTLY WEAR TO TUCK-FLAPS AND INSIDE TAPE WITH A BIT OF GLUE REINFORCEMENT TO HINGE AREAS FOR GENERIC BOX END FOLD FLAPS).
THE BOX MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 3" SQUARE X 8 3/4" TALL.
PLEASE EXAMINE THE PHOTOS I HAVE ENCLOSED TO BEST DETERMINE THE
SPECIAL
QUALITY OF THE PIECES THAT MAKE UP THIS VERY SPECIAL TOY SET FOR YOURSELF.
A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS........
"IF YOU LIKE THE BEST VALUE FOR THE $ - THIS ONE IS FOR YOU" !!!!!!
