(Disney, c.1930s) A pair of tin litho sweeper toys featuring Mickey Mouse and friends. Following the surge of Mickey's popularity during the early 1930s, many toys such as this incorporated imagery of Mickey and his friends to make them more appealing for children. The smaller of the two sweepers measures 3.25"x5.25" and 1.75" tall and is missing both the metal bracket to hold the handle, and the handle itself. The larger sweeper measures 4.25"x7" and 28" tall with the handle attached. The pair are in good condition for their age, with spots of rusting and color loss around the edges of the smaller sweeper. Both show some general surface wear in the form of scratching and scuffing, as well as some spots where the tin is bent. The brushes are shedding slightly due to age.
