1935 Mickey Mouse Wooden Rocker

Seen here is a rare 1935 Mickey Mouse wooden rocker manufactured by the Mengel Company. Built of 3/4” plywood, its design was touted as being tip-proof and safe for kids 6 years old and younger. Being made of wood, many that you find today have peeling paint or show the effects of having been left outside, so it’s nice to see one in such fine condition as shown here, with just the right historical patina.

With a sturdy elephant as its logo, the Mengel Playthings Company produced wooden ride-on and rocking toys, as well as children’s tables, featuring popular characters of the era, including Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, all under a licensing agreement with Walt Disney Enterprises from 1935 to 1939.
