Hake’s final premier auction of the year realized $2.3 million when it closed on November 18-19, 2025. The breadth of material in the auction ranged from important campaign buttons to major comic book keys, vintage baseball items to rare action figures. The Disneyana section, particularly their number one mascot, Mickey Mouse, was very popular in the auction turning in some of the biggest results of the pop culture offerings.

The Mickey and Minnie Mouse on Motorcycle tin wind-up toy cruised to $58,410, well over the $35,000 estimate. The classic Tipp & Co. toy from 1930 is considered to be the most desirable Disney toy, not only coveted by collectors of Disneyana but motorcycle and wind-up collectors as well. This example is complete and all original aside from two small spots of touch-ups to Mickey Mouse figure; less than 10 examples of this toy are known in their original state.

A rare 1930s Mickey and Minnie “Mickey the Musical Mouse” tin toy hammered for $27,258, well over the $20,000 estimate. The tin litho toy features Minnie pushing a stroller with a baby Mickey playing a horn, Mickey stands with hands on hips, and another Mikey appears with an organ grinder. When the metal hand crank is turned the toy produces musical notes and the heads move back and forth. Few examples of this toy are known, and this is only the second example that Hake’s has offered in their 58 years.

The very rare 1930s “Mickey Mouse Scooter” wind-up celluloid and tin toy sold for $25,960. Mickey stands atop a metal scooter with built-in key to wind the mechanism and move the toy while a metal bell on the rear platform rings. The toy was sold with the original box featuring illustrations of Mickey on the top and sides. It is one of the earliest Mickey Mouse mechanical toys, and one of the most sought after from the ‘30s.

The 1930 Mickey Mouse chariot being pulled by Horace Horsecollar celluloid wind-up saw $22,983, just over the $20,000 estimate. The waist-up figure of Mickey is sitting in a chariot style cart holding the reins while Horace, who has a separate wheel on the underside of the body, pulls the cart. It is one of the rarest Disney celluloid toys; Hake’s only knows of two other examples, and this was the first time that Hake’s has offered it.

The Mickey Mouse rare 1930s German wind-up toy with a moving mouth went for $22,426. The 9” tall tin litho toy has five fingers instead of the more commonly seen four, die-cut eyes, and a wide smile. There is a separate tin litho plate in Mickey’s head, and when the built-in key on the back is wound, the plate moves to make his eyes and mouth move.
