Miky Miky" -- Dark Blue Fabric Dye Using Early Version of Mickey Mouse in Marketing

  • [Spain] , 1930
[Spain], 1930. Very good. Toned.. A Spanish-language printed packet using an early version of Mickey Mouse to market its contents, a concentrated dark blue fabric dye powder. Includes directions on the front to use the powder to dye wool, silk, cotton, and other fabrics, and tips on the back for best results. Presumably, this was not a product sold by Walt Disney, and it is an early example of businesses copying the popular character to sell products-- before the Disney legal and copyright enforcing machine came into full force. Packet measures approx. 4.75" by 3", printed in blue.
