1930's BLUE Disney Cone Dollar - Department Store Version (No Name) - PMG 35

The first "Mickey Mouse Cones" were issued in 1933. The bills were given at Mickey Mouse Club meetings held in participating theaters on Saturday afternoons as part of a promotion to give away 1 million ice cream cones. The first bills illustrated Spingle-Bell-Chicko-K. The Cone bills are identifiable by the legend below the portrait of Mickey Mouse that reads 'Mickey Mouse Cones. Next came the Southern Dairies Inc. bills identified by the lower legend that reads 'Southern Dairies Ice Cream.' They were denominated in 1, 5, and 10-cent bills. The final run was The Department Store Edition, all printed in blue and were denominated in 1, 5 and 10-cent bills. Department store bills could be identified on the front lower legend as they simply read, "Mickey Mouse." There were bills printed without a store name on the back that could later be stamped by a particular store. This is a VERY RARE sample of a store version without a sponsor.
