DETAIL
MOTOR-WORKS SERVICING( INVESTMENT):
DISNEY 1939 "PINOCCHIO" MARX TIN WIND-UP TOY WITH BUILT-IN KEY.
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 ENTIRE TOY HAS A TIN SUBSTRATE, INCLUDING THE NOSE.
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 IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THIS ONE EXCEPT IT
HAS "
PINOCCHIO
" PRINTED ON THE HAT
.
THE FOLLOWING IS BASED ON MY PERSONAL FINDINGS ONLY AS I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO, SOLIDLY, VERIFY THE SAME TO BE ABSOLUTE FACT.
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING AND SELLING PRE-1968 VINTAGE DISNEYANA FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND HAVE PERSONALLY HAD 4 OR 5 OF THIS VERSION TOY COME THROUGH MY COLLECTION DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
IRONICALLY, THE VERY LAST ONE I FOUND WAS ONLY ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND IT WAS RECENTLY SOLD.
I JUST RECEIVED THIS TOY VIA A SMALL COLLECTION THAT I PURCHASED. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT MY PINOCCHIO WAS THIS RARE VERSION UNTIL JUST BEFORE LISTING IT FOR SALE TODAY, 6/1/21. IT CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE, A VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE.
MY PERSONAL CONCLUSION:
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.
A SMALL QUANTITY OF THE FIRST VERSION TOY WERE SOLD BEFORE PRODUCTION WAS ENDED.
I, ABSOLUTELY, HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THIS TOY IS AN AUTHENTIC DISNEY LICENSED 1939 VERSION AND RARE
.
AFTER WOUND AND RELEASED, PINOCCHIO ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WITH HIS EYES HAVING THE SAME TYPE OF MOVEMENT.
THE TOY IS IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINIMAL COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS.
PLEASE EXAMINE THE PHOTOS I HAVE ENCLOSED TO BEST DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF THIS VERY SPECIAL APPROXIMATELY 80-YEAR-OLD VINTAGE TOY FOR YOURSELF.
A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS........
