Vintage Mickey Mouse plush

I bought this HUGE Mickey Mouse plush in the early 90's in Orlando in the Orlando Sentinel [newspaper] classified. He is 6 feet tall and heavy. He is stuffed with jute I believe? He is pie eyed (notch in the pupil) So that tells me it was made before 1940 or made to look that way. The stitching is irregular so that tells me it was had sewn/hand assembled. The head is droopy so I have a 2x4 propping it up. Any idea what the history on this is?
