(Disneyland, c.1990s) An original top hat and pair of gloves used by a walk-around Mickey Mouse costumed character at Disneyland. Mickey is known for sporting themed attire for special events and celebrations, such as this sleek top hat and gloves with attached long black sleeves. The oversized hat is custom made and marked inside as "Mickey" with felt pen. The gloves are both for the right hand, and the middle and ring fingers are designed to fit into one slightly larger finger space within the gloves. These props come from the collection of esteemed Disney historian and Walt Disney autograph expert, Phil Sears. The brim of the hat measures 15"x17" and stands 11" tall. The gloves are unmarked for size, and measure approximately 24" long from fingertips to the end of the sleeve. The condition is good overall, and the pieces present very nicely. The hat has some creases and dents, as well as some wear to the thin fabric coating. The gloves have some areas of discoloration to the fingers from use. Original costumed character pieces are exceptionally rare, with pieces used by Mickey costumed characters being some of the most sought-after and difficult to find park artifacts.
