…Leading the auction was a tin litho Mickey and Minnie on Motorcycle by Tipp & Co. The rare piece had come from the Feldman collection and attracted bidders from around the world. In excellent condition with “striking colors” this toy was termed by the gallery as “arguably the most rare and desirable of all the Disney” tin litho toys. Estimated at $30/40,000, bidding on the rare lot shot past estimates selling for $55,000, including the ten percent buyer’s premium.
