Scarce Cold War 'Mickey Mouse` Child's Gas Mask (Dated 1953)

A scarce 1953 dated British made `Mickey Mouse' child's respirator.
The rubber face piece remains very pliable with no damage, the manufacturers name and production date is moulded in the rubber (Avon 1/53), also present is an acceptance ink stamp for Feb 1953.
The blue harness is complete and also in good order.
The alloy eye pieces are clearly marked 12/1952, glass lens intact and clear.
The blue filter/canister is in very clean condition with no rusting, the cardboard box is well used, still with its original hanging strap.
Over the years I have acquired many WW2 examples but never any from the Korean war, early 'Cold War' era.
Only requires a wipe clean, left as found.
For display only, Sorry UK sale only.
