Rare "Mickey Mouse" patience game - Early 20th century

A rare circular solitaire game featuring an anthropomorphic mouse character inspired by early American cartoons of the 1920s and 30s. The character, very similar in style to early Mickey Mouse illustrations, is depicted in an amusement park setting with a railing and silhouettes of figures in the background. The illustration bears the inscription "V. Paris Déposé," a trademark associated with small miniature skill games produced in Paris between the two World Wars. The game involves guiding three small metal balls into the cavities of the scene by slightly tilting the case.
