1952 Original Mouseketeer Marionette
« on: August 11, 2010, 10:29:43 AM »
Sorry, not sure if this is the correct forum but, I've come across this Mouseketeer Marionette and from my research believe it's from 1952 or the 1950's. I need to know what it might be worth and if anyone is willing to purchase it. It is in great shape and has all of the original strings and hand to control it. There is slight surface cracking of the paint but it is well intact. If anyone is interested, please contact Jacob at (626) 340-5306 or inthelight20@gmail.com. I'm located in Southern California.

The doll is most certainly from the 1950's, or at most, the early 1960s.  By the mid-1960's it was all Barbie dolls and Chatty Cathy's, and marionettes wouldn't have been something that toy makers would have likely still been making.  It's a very nice piece of Mickey Mouse Club memoribelia.  I don't know enough about this kind of toy to give more than a wild guess at its value, but I'd expect it to be at least $50.00 and wouldn't be surprised if it was worth something closer to $100.00.  Good luck!
