THE ITEM DESCRIPTION:
The box holds 12 pencils & each one is 3 1/2” long. Box is labeled “MY PENCIL BRAND.” Apparently not Disney authorized as there is no copyright on the box or pencils & there is no manufacturer's name or country of origin. Box art shows a 1930s pie-eyed Mickey head in a circle on both sides. Box & pencils in excellent, unused condition. Old store stock. Circa 1930s. It is very unusual to find American made products using an unauthorized image of Mickey Mouse to sell the product(because Walt's lawyers would have stopped them cold) which means these were made in a foreign country(most likely Japan) with the intention of selling them in Canada or Australia beyond the reach of the Disney lawyers. Note that the pencils are the colour variety which is un American – the Dixon pencils are colored which is the proper, American spelling. Either way, this is an unauthorized use of Mickey's image & it really doesn't matter if it is foreign or American made. 070321/05BE(9)
