Vintage Walt Disney Productions Tinplate Biscuit / Trinket Tin (c.1980s)

A bright mid-century Disney lithographed tin featuring Mickey, Pluto, Donald and friends in front of the classic fairytale castle — a design strongly tied to the Disneyland era merchandising boom of 1980s.

Description

• Circular tin with removable lid

• Colourful lithographed scene to lid

• Marked © Walt Disney Productions to rim

• Orange enamelled base — very typical of 80s production

• Originally sold as a biscuit / sweet tin (often repurposed as toy storage)

Era

Circa 1960s — when Disney merchandising exploded alongside Disneyland branding and global licensing.

Condition

• Honest age wear, scratches and small paint losses to rim

• Light oxidation and handling marks

• Graphic remains vibrant and display-friendly

• Structurally sound with good lid fit

A nice decorative rather than mint collector example — exactly the sort of thing that sells on charm and nostalgia.

Display Appeal

Great for:

• Nursery / retro room styling

• Disney display grouping

• Practical storage with character

• Pairing with earlier Disney wares (like your English tin tea set)
