1976 Mickey
After seeing an old Mickey Mouse watch here, I remembered I had one around in my treasure chest.
There is a story behind this watch. Growing up, with 3 sisters, our family didn't have any excess items. We had the necessities, but not much more. My mom scrimped & saved as she wanted to take me & my younger sister to Disneyland, before we "got too old' By 1976, she had saved enough to take the two of us. I was 13, but I remember this trip really well. It was over the 4th of July weekend for the USA's 200 celebration. My one momento from the trip was, a mechanical Mickey Mouse watch. I wore this thing for a long long time. Them put it away for safe keeping. Well fast forward 30 years. My mom recently passed away, and we are taking my daughter to Disneyland next week. She too is 13, but we have been a few times before. I found my old watch, and wound it up. It started ticking right away. I grabbeb my magnifying glass to check it out. I took two pictures, the lighting is not the best and the plexi is well used, but if you look closely, it does say "SWISS MADE" on the dial. Any of our resident experts now anything about a watch like this? Thanks for looking.
