1988 Mickey Flashing Pin


Sold

From the 60th anniversary of the creation of Mickey Mouse, this is one of the very first flasher pins ever released.

Listed as pin number 1593 on PinPics, it is still in its original packaging and has never been opened, so I cannot verify if the flasher still works (but the packaging states that there are extra batteries included).  Marked copyright 1987 the Walt Disney Company.

Asking $35 plus shipping and insurance.

1980 Disneyland Snifter


Sold

Now here's a true vintage piece,  from the 25th anniversary of Disneyland in 1980.

An amazing party, it was one of the first times they kept the park open for a full 25 hours (and yes, I was there and got to spend the entire night in the park.  Sunrise in the hub is one of my fondest memories . . .)

Anyhow, this was sold in Arribas Brothers on Main Street.  Made of flash glass (glass which has two layers of color, in this case red and clear) it shows Mickey and Minnie celebrating the anniversary of Disneyland.  The tiny Walt Disney Productions you see in the photo is a clear plastic label that s affixed to the bottom.

The size of as regular brandy snifter, it stands seven and three quarters inches high and six inches at its widest point.  In perfect condition, no nicks, chips or cracks.

Asking $40 plus shipping and insurance.

Ian Fraser Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle, Signed 1997


Sold

One of the most detailed versions of the Sleeping Beauty Castle ever made, this is such a lovely piece that really, pictures cannot do it justice.  These were originally sculpted for the 40th Anniversary of Disneyland, and were sold for several years after that, but have long ago been discontinued.

I wish you could see this in person, because it's so perfect, right down to the drawbridge and the coutyard  in the rear.  From the photo, it's hard to imagine that this piece measures only three and one half by five inches, and stands a mere three inches tall.

I purchased this in Disneyland on April 18, 1997 when Mr Fraser was making a personal appearance.  As you can see in the photo it has been hand signed to Kate and Terry with the date and signature.

This will be shipped in its original box, complete with styrofoam block, just as we purchased it.

Original cost was $95, asking $150 plus postage and insurance.

1990s Disney News AM/FM Radio


Sold

I got this in the 1990s, a promotion from the now defunct (at least I believe it's no longer being published) Disney News.  Shaped like and old time announcers Microphone, but with Mouse Ears, it's a battery operated AM/FM radio.

A really cute display piece, rare to find, it has a large red logo that reads "Disney News" right between the ears.  There's also a logo that reads "since 1965" which leads me to believe this is from 1995, a 30th anniversary commemorative.

$50 plus shipping and insurance.


Disneyland Small World Music Box Walt Disney Productions


Sold

From the old days, this is from Disneyland's Small World and features the characters created by Mary Blair.

In good condition, there are some light marks on it, but I would call it 90-95% good.  I have lost the key, so I can't say if the music box still works, but considering the good condition, I would think it would (if you can find a  key from another music box).

These haven't been available for years, marked Walt Disney Productions, Made in Japan.

$20 plus actual shipping and Insurance.

Tinker Bell Perfume Bottle


Sold

I bought this some time back in the 1990s in Disneyland, most likely at Arribas Brothers on Main Street.  The bottom is a cobalt blue handblown perfume bottle and the stopper (which has a perfume dauber attached) has a beautiful little Tinker bell.

It measures 4 3/8 inches high to the top of her head  and Tink is 1 1/2 inches tall.  She's marked  copyright Disney on the back of one of her wings.  If you're viewing the photo on the blog, you can click on the photo and see her in great detail.

$50 plus shipping and insurance.

Disney Studio Wine Stopper, Mickey Mouse


Sold

I got this at the Studio back in the day when there were virtually NO alcoholic "collectables".  I just thought it was so cool.  That said, I don't drink wine and have never used it!  As you can see, it depicts Mickey with a movie clapboard sitting atop a cork.  Walt Disney Studios is written (in Disney script of course) around the base.  This is a very heavy piece, I'm assuming it's pewter, but the painting is a baked on enamel.

As you can see I paid $55 for it, selling for $40 plus postage and insurance.

Huge Maleficint Dragon Plush


 Sold

This was released when Fantasmic! first debuted at Disneyland.  A wonderful plush, very true to the character in the film, the dragon is made of a velvet like material.  I love Malificent when she's in her cloak, but when she's the dragon, she's really scary!

This has never been displayed, but has been kept in a bag since purchase.  It stands an impressive twenty inches long.

$40 plus actual shipping and insurance.

Large Skull Rock Bank (Peter Pan)


Sold

A very realistic depiction of Skull Rock from Peter Pan (though in my heart, I will always remember it from Fantasyland).  Purchased from the Disney Store in the mid 1990s, it completes any scene from Peter Pan, wonderful in your display case!  It's made of a sort of soft rigid plastic.

Asking $20 plus actual postage and insurance.

Disneyland Donald Duck 50th Birthday Lamp Post Sgn

Sold!

Back in the day, Disneyland used to make up signs for the lamp posts around the park.  Then when the event was over, they would show up at various Disney shows and sales around Anaheim.  This one was actually used in Disneyland for the 50th birthday of Donald Duck.

Disneyland had quite a few events around this momentous occasion, and this sign is just one of the pieces we have in our collection.  My favorite memory from the event was when they had 50 baby ducks follow Donald down Main Street USA!  Quite a parade, and good memories, I can tell you!

 This is painted on a heavy board, made to withstand the elements (I know, because I still have a similar Teddi Beara on my garden wall that has been there for over 25 years and she hasn't faded a bit).  That said, this sign has hung on the wall in my living room for close to 30 years.  It measures almost 17 inches tall and 16 inches wide.

A truly rare piece of memorabilia for either the Disneyland or Donald Duck collector.  Asking price $100 plus actual shipping and insurance.
