The needed revenue saved Walt Disney.<br /><br />Below is what I have researched so far:<br />This design was not used for a production watch or advertising but is the original concept design.<br /><br />This Unique printing plate is Concept Art used to develop the original Mickey Mouse watch. Kay Kamen needed copies for his sales presentation with Ingersoll. The original design on the face of the watch is by Ub Iwerks. Mickey has striped pants and balloons in the background. The company name "Ingersoll" is not there yet. The wristband is similar to the production watch but with two different Mickey Mouse designs. The artist is Floyd Gottfredson. Floyd had high level of artistic skill and was the only Mickey Mouse comic strip and merchandise artist at the time. Circa 1933 engraved copper on wood. The artwork is extraordinary. I love the way it fades in and out as if light was shining on the metal. Life size presented on a platform and tilted a few degrees for a three dimensional effect. <br /><br />Best regards,<br />Steven Simmons <br />Wolfegang36@gmail.com<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186825111427348360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359046077016597255.post-14525305000103199942011-01-16T22:14:30.192-06:002011-01-16T22:14:30.192-06:00Katella-- I can see why you were asked to serve as...Katella-- I can see why you were asked to serve as a consultant on the wrecks of the Titanic and Lusitania.
