From the one below, Mickey it seemed like the title was "Mickey Mouse and Tanglefoot", his horse and here's a miniature book that came out in 1934 which was probably what this is referring to. According to the listing online, "The book in its entirety measures 3" x 3.5" and features on the cover Mickey Mouse talking with the horse Tanglefoot" No mention of page count - Here's another one from the same vintage: Mickey Mouse at the Carnival - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 actually, the ones he has posted publicly on the wacky packages forum are INCREDIBLE! He has been giving the story behind every sticker he painted, and all of Norm's feelings & quirks wrapped up in it, not to mention insight into the working conditions at topps at the time. I have to say, it is a real rare treasure of information about the man. Wacky Packages Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
