- Description
- “MousekeEars” hat worn by Lonnie Burr, an original member of the The Mickey Mouse Club Mousketeers. It is not known exactly when these ears were created or used.
- The Mickey Mouse Club aired on ABC from 1955–1959. The popular television variety show featured a cast of children who participated in musical numbers, skits, and other clubhouse activities. Disney cartoons featuring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and other characters were incorporated alongside live-action segments. Walt Disney used the show to help finance and promote his new Disneyland Park, which opened in 1955. The original show remained in syndication into the 1970s and was later revived as the New Mickey Mouse Club. Hats like this one were sold at the new Disneyland Park and remain popular souvenirs at Disney theme parks today.
