How to Find a Steamboat Willie Pocket Watch

Steamboat Willie is the name of a cartoon released in 1928 that featured Mickey Mouse. This may not have been the first cartoon Mickey Mouse had ever been shown in, but it was the first cartoon that made Mickey a celebrity of sorts. This cartoon continues to be thought of as the first to feature post-produced music, effects and dialogue.

This cartoon has been attracting attention lately due to its public domain status. Steamboat Willie has almost reached public domain status several times, but each time a copyright extension was filed and granted.

Many collectors of both Disney memorabilia as well as pocket watches often seek a Steamboat Willie pocket watch. You may not be able to find one of these in your local jewelry store or watch shop, but don't despair. There are places where you can obtain one of these watches for yourself or to give as a gift.

These places are best accessed via the Internet. The Internet is a vast resource where you can find pages and pages of listings for sites that sell all sorts of watches and Disney collectibles. Check places like retail stores, Disney collectible shops, and even the online auction giant Ebay. You can find Steamboat Willie pocket watches that are antiques or those that are newer. They are often offered as part of a special collection or as an anniversary special.

So how much can you expect to pay for a Steamboat Willie pocket watch? That all depends. One factor is the condition of the watch. Of course a pocket watch in mint condition will sell for more than one that is scratched or damaged. Another factor will be the year of make. The older the watch, usually the more valuable. If you're a savvy shopper, you can often find these types of pocket watches for auction and if you stay on top of things, you can grab them at low prices.

One of these whimsical timepieces would make a great gift for anyone who loves Disney or collects watches. A watch is a good gift when you're commemorating an event. Some pocket watches can be engraved with initials or even a message. These watches are often passed down from father to son, for generations, and become treasured family heirlooms.
