Walt Disney Pluto Wind-Up Tin Toy Marx, 1939

This toy is made of brightly lithographed tin, and is everyone’s favorite dog Pluto!  The toy has a fixed wind key on the left side and when wound up Pluto moves in circles. The toy is marked “©1939 Walt Disney Prod.” and has the Marx trade mark next to “Made in U.S.A.” Three mechanical Pluto wind-up toy versions were produced by Marx for Disney at the same time.

This antique Pluto toy is in good working condition, showing some moderate scratching/wear to the tin from age.   The litho remains vibrant and mostly complete, with some loss to the scratches and along the base.  There is some oxidation throughout. Measures approx. 8-1/4″ L x 2-1/4″ W x 2-3/4″.
