It is definitely Disney's Pluto, who is Mickey Mouse's pet dog. As a kid, I watched the Pluto cartoons, bought the comic-books he appeared in, etc.

WAY COOL! Don't really like Disney, but if you're gonna find Disney then Pluto is the way to go. I love dogs : )

Thanks so much mine was probably molded for the rubber, or it was a sample? Someone could have also made a mold from the rubber one and made a bronze figure?

Now, if Pluto is a dog, what is Goofy? Just askin'.

 

[taz42o]

Both are dogs, Pluto was originally called Rover (1930). Goofy originally Dippy Dawg (1932).

WOW, I've never seen a bronze Disney figure like this. I'd contact a toy expert like Bertoia Auctions in New Jersey or Noel Barrett Auctions to see if it's anything special or just a home cast item. Neat find.

I think i am going to put it on ebay, as a rare brass or bronze disney pluto, and see what it does.

Try to get verification first. It might be rare and if you can get provenance of what it is you would probably get much higher bids.

Ok thanks, i really dont know of anyone to contact? I sent the one recommended names, but i guess ill just wait for his reply.

Looks really good for a dug brass item. Did you polish it?

 

[detectorboy552]

No, i was also very suprised , it was about 6-8 inches down too, all i did was clean it with soap and water.

Go to a bookstore and check a Disney collectable book. That is free...
