I want to know how much a Steamboat Willie watch is worth?
Karen from N.C.
Your Steamboat Willy watch is a Walt Disney heirloom. Contact Walt Disney and ask them how much the watch is worth. You can also contact certain antique dealers and they will give you a price estimate.
Not being an expert, I suggest Willy is worth about three to four thousand dollars, maybe more.

Does anyone know what this is worth?
Disney made several pewter and ceramic Mickey Mouse series in several sizes and in different years so if you do research be sure you are doing close comparisons.
There are a large number of similar pieces listed for sale on numerous sites and none of these seem to be very rare.
eBay shows the value of these items to be: Avg: $16.17, Low: $5.50, High: $29.99
eBay has similar ones listed for sale - starting at $4.50 up to $40 but one like yours sold for $18.50 plus shipping but there is no date showing.

This one is currently listed at $14.81 + shipping. You can place a watch on eBay items to see if they sell.

You can always check eBay's sold listing to see what people are actually paying for this and similar items.
Hudson Pewter made a lot of pewter Mickey Mouse's in 1968 - Now. They tend to have a larger market on Ebay, size from 3 inch and up. The cost does not exceed $30. Limited Edition and earlier makes go up to over $60 asking price. Here is a look at current for sale items- www.ebay.com/

Nutcrackers, in general, have always been popular but there are so many presently available that it makes it a 'buyers market' and people can usually find any item they choose listed for different prices so they have a wide choice.
There are presently over 16,000 (all sizes, brands, materials) listed for sale on eBay alone, so this shows they are a popular item.
However, the number sold is a very small percentage of the number listed for sale.
Here is a link to eBay's sold listings (all brands, sizes, etc) so you can get an idea of what people are actually paying for these items.
You can narrow the field by checking blocks on the left of the screen (size, etc).

The biggest problem that I see is how many of the Mickey Mouse Nutcrackers are actually available, and so many are 'look alikes'.
There appears to be several companies making these figurines.
All designs and sizes.
Brands: List is incomplete
Disney: Disney on Parade
Disney: Disney Parks
Disney: Hollywood
Disney: Disney
Disney: Disney Christmas collection
Disney: Disney Collection Kurt S Adler
(Kurt S Adler was the most sought-after artist)
There are also some similar figurines made by Kurt S Adler's
company.
Companies appear to still be producing similar/different nutcrackers as of 2021.
Since these figurines are produced in several different sizes (4-5", 10", 13-14") the number available is staggering.
This particular series is still popular:
Series of seven wooden Mickey Mouse nutcracker figures, created especially for Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort

If you decide to list your two, I would suggest you decide their value on your own and list them on several different sites.
I have an unused Mickey Mouse 1997 Diary. How much is it worth ?
There is a glut of Disney Mickey Mouse items listed online, and it appears that most of the items are listed for under $20.
There are numerous diaries listed, but I did not see this exact one.
I do not believe your diary is any more special than similar diaries listed for sale, and very few of any type are showing up on eBay's sold listings.
If you list it for sale, you could start the price at $20-$25 and see if it sells. If no sale after a few weeks, you may have to reduce the price.
Maybe it would make a nice birthday or Christmas gift?
I like it.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a Mickey Mouse Diary from 1997 for sale, but I found an unused Mickey Mouse Diary 8 1/2 X 6 from 1928, in "like" new condition with no damage:
It is listed at $16.
I have an old Mickey Mouse figurine and was wondering what it was worth. It has Walt Disney printed on the butt. I will attach photos. Thank you.
That's a fantastic figurine. Here are some of the same but not in such good condition- set of three:
www.rubylane.com/
These were sold for $125
Your figurine is considered rare because it is retired. These figurines sell for a much higher price than vintage figurines or ones that are still available.
The figurine you have is so hard to find and many people are looking for this. Some collectors would pay as high as $1000 for this figurine.
I personally would go to see a vintage, rare, and retired dealer for Disney figurines. You'd be surprised to find out that this little guy is worth a lot of money. That is the only way to get a fair price for this retired figurine.
We found this guy and was wondering if he was worth any thing? He's about a foot and a half long and maybe 10 to 12 pounds.
On eBay they have a lot of different ones for sale but yours is not one of them. The ones in boxes are selling for around $20 each and other ones are selling for $15 to $25.
This is a nice Mickey, it's not worth a lot on line on ebay, ranges up to $20 . There are a lot of them out there , I think you could do much better with auction/bid or even a yard sale. There a lot of Mickey Mouse collectors out there. With really good staging online, you could get a buyer!
What is the value of this brass Mickey Mouse figurine?
I have a 1935 figurine of Mickey Mouse made by Wade. He is wearing orange shorts (I believe Wade made this model in either blue, green, or orange shorts). My Mickey is in mint condition! He came from my nan's family farmhouse when she was little girl and she then kept him safely boxed away all through her adult life and gave him to me about 10 years ago!
I would like to sell him, but don't know the best way to go about this to get a proper price? In the Wade catalogue he is valued at between £1500/£2500.
It could be worth a couple hundred or perhaps thousands. I cant find this exact figurine. I would take it to a dealer. You could also send the pictures to The Antiques Roadshow on pbs.org.
Cool item!! Neat!!
If you are going to sell it, I suggest finding a good auction house in your town and having them sell it for you. They were made in other colors, though I have only ever seen photos of the orange and the blue. All of the examples I have seen sold are old (before the US market crashed in 2008) so the value may or may not be the same as it was then, which was in the range of $500 US dollars at auction. It appears you are NOT in the US and I apologize, I don't do conversions well off the top of my head.
You will have to pay a commission for a sale, but it is truly the best and safest way to sell it if it still has a value over a few hundred dollars. If you tried to sell it yourself online as a new seller, you would open yourself up to the new wave of horrible people who try to scam new sellers. I just don't recommend going that way any more.
Post back with an update on what the auction house (or a good antique/vintage store that specializes in high end items) tells you.
I hope the item has appreciated in value!!! Thanks for sharing!
These items are not as rare as some may think and the orange suit seems to be the most plentiful with the blue and green suit more rare.
It appears that galleries always seem to keep stating the highest value figure that anything ever sold for so their prices could be from years ago and not a current value. Only the galleries that state date/site of last sale are to be considered maybe current value (as of that date) and only then when condition and place of sale are considered.
I have found several of this item listed over the past few years and not all were sold even at small amounts.
Your figurine seems to be in excellent condition so that is a plus as many do have issues and issues will lower the value.
You can check the following links for items still for sale and others 'maybe' sold but there are several sellers who just dropped the for sale listings.
Current listing: 2019: Blue outfit - place a watch on this item to see if it sells.

You may wish to ask for a free online appraisal as they may be able to tell you more about value in your country as well as the US.
These are very good appraisers and do not ask for money to give you an answer but be sure to ask for resale value as well as insurance value.
You can also ask about where to sell this type of item.

I believe your item is probably in the $250-$600 value range but it may still take a long time to sell.
eBay is probably the safest site to list on but be sure to check out lots of similar listings before attempting to sell an item like this as there are expert crooks all over the world and they love to find new sellers trying to sell nice items.
I have a Mickey Mouse statue that weights around 50 lbs. It is like the other one I have that is a store model that has 500 made. But the one I'm asking about is gold and only 50 were made.
I've pretty much looked as much as I could, but have no luck. I've read that the store model is valued at around 3000 dollars or so. But the gold one I have no idea of its value.Is it real gold? The fact that only 50 were made is a good sign. I would go to a dealer that specializes in Disney items for a free appraisal.
Sorry but without pictures and more information on size and perhaps age it will be difficult to search for information.
There have been quite a few "gold" mickey mouse statues made over the years and some are valuable but others not so much.
Would it be possible for you to post pictures (of both statues) as well as pictures of any markings; also measurements and any information you have on the age of the item. Any type of paperwork?
What type of material; real gold (karat?) - faux gold - gold over ceramic?
If real gold what is the store statue made of?
Since it weighs around 50 pounds is the weight due to the size of the statue or due to the material content?
Sounds like a very interesting item.
Just searching with the information provided only shows how many different styles have been made.

I would publish a photo. You don't say what size the statue is so it is very difficult to help you.
You can add the photo to the feedback or send it to us at ThriftyFun and we can add it to your original question.
I have a Mickey Mouse statue that I believe is bronze. The statue stands approximately 2 3/4" - 3" tall.
What is the value of this piece and where would be the best place to sell this piece?
From what I see on eBay, they are asking over $150. I think EBay will give you the widest audience.
I have several Walt Disney figurines and wanted to see if they were worth any money. They have got Walt Disney stamped on the bottom and some have got made in Indonesia and some say made in China.
How do you know if any are valuable?
Unless it is antique or a special anniversary edition, it is probably not worth much. Keep looking on EBay and see if you can find your exact one and a sold price.
First of all do a search on Google, you might find your answers on there. eBay is your best bet on getting to know if they are of any value. eBay is the worlds largest site for selling dolls and Walt Disney figurines . See if there are any similar to yours, what price is being asked and if they are selling, remember to figure the cost of shipping them. Craigslist is also another place to look.
Good luck !!
Hello...are these your figurines:
www.ebay.com/
They have been unsold on eBay for a while now at the under 6.99 range.
Most of the figures made in China and Indonesia have not held their value.
There is so much Disney out there and that also hurts the values.
When looking for Disney items to resell, those from Tokyo Disney have some value (some of them) and unusual glass pieces....like some of the very old cups and saucers have value....like when Donald Duck was quite scary looking!
