Two Gun Mickey Picture Frame


Is this the cutest thing you've ever seen?  I got this at the Disney Store in the mid 1990s/  The frame is made of resin and is fully figural with Mickeyand his horse (and part of the cactus) extending off the frame.  I put this vintage playing card featuring Pluto in the frame (this is how I displayed it) and am including it in the sale.

$45 plus actual shipping and insurance.

Tinker Bell Disneyland Bell Gold and Glass


Standing just a bit under 3 inches tall, this Tinker bell bell was purchased from Arribas brothers on Main Street in Disneyland in the 1990s.

1992 Little Mermaid Paper Cups


Originally a set of 100, this box now contains 80 five ounce cups depicting a myriad of scenes from the film of the Little Mermaid.  We purchased these around the time of the original release of the film, I think the early 1990s.  The box is opened, but still in good (not perfect shape) and I've shown a variety of the cups that are included.  All the included cups are unused.

I can't help but think that there aren't many of these left, as they were made to be used and disposed of.

A great gift for the fan of Ariel and all the Little Mermaid characters.

Asking $50 plus actual shipping.

Asking $10 plus actual shipping (insurance optional at buyers request, but highly recommended).

Older Tinker Bell Bisque Bell


Another Tinker Bell bell, this one made of bisque.  Standing right around six inches tall, she is in perfect condition.

As you can see, she is number 222 of 25,000(!) but it is doubtful the complete run was ever made, as this was a mail order subscription item.  I can't date it for sure, but it is from before 1986,  when the Walt Disney Productions mark was retired.

Asking $40 plus actual shipping and insurance.

1992 Teddi Beara Plush

Back in the early 1990s, Disney hosted several Teddy Bear Conventions, each using the Country Bear Jamboree diva Teddi Beara as its mascot.

We found this adorable plush, just like new having been packed away in tissue and plastic for all these years.  She stands thirteen inches tall and still has her saucy hat and fluffy feather boa and all her original tags from 1992.

Original cost $30, asking $40 plus actual postage and insurance.

Disney Gallery Velvet Gift Bag


Does anyone remember the Disney Gallery?  A big step up from the regular Disney Stores, they requisitioned art with a Disney twist  from various artists.  They had the most wonderful assortment of items, things from $20 right up in to the thousands of dollars.

This gift bag is one of the things they sold.  Made of a satin type material, embellished with faux pearls with a velvet bottom and a Mickey head made of gold cord.  Unused with the original tags, it's 13 inches tall.  Great for this Christmas and many to come.

Purchased for $18.00 asking $20 plus shipping.

Original Disney Studio Little Mermaid Stationary


Back in the day, Disney used to make special stationary for every new release.  That would be the stationary that they would use until the next big release. 

I'm offering seven cover pages (with image) and seven additional sheets, with just the logo.  Very slight yellowing due to age, but otherwise perfect.

Asking $15 plus shipping

WDCC Tinker Bell in Brass Lantern


This is an adorable little Tinker Bell (from the WDCC) and I found this perfectly fitting brass lantern, and put her in it.

Now, doesn't she look just like that scene from the movie?

Asking $100 plus shipping and insurance (and I promise to clean it up, cobwebs NOT included!).

Original Little Mermaid Announcement Postcards


While it seems hard to imagine now, Disney used to keep upcoming projects pretty much under wraps till they were released in theaters.  They would, prior to release, send out announcements to members of the Disney Moviie Club.

This is one of those announcements, pristine, from the original release of the Little Mermaid, back in 1989.

$5.00 including first class shipping.

Disney Channel Little Mermaid Mug Set

Lion King Simba and Nala Jewelry Pin


I guess this is technically a Disney pin, but really, it's more a piece of fine jewelry.

Made from a soft muted goldtone metal, it features an adult Simba and Nala, with African inspired markings around the perimeter.

Still on it's card, it was purchased during the time of the original release of the film and has never been worn.  The pin measures one and three eighths inches square.  Listed as Pin #15899 on Pinpics.

Asking $25 plus shipping and insurance.

Vintage Disneyland Castle/Man and Woman Salt and Pepper WDP


More vintage Disneyana from Walt Disney's original theme park. 

These are shaped like small coffee pots but are actually Salt and Pepper shakers.  One side shows a couple who look just like they walked on the original Main Street on which Walt based his park, while the other side shows an early representation of the Castle (blue for the policeman, pink for the lady).

The policeman shaker bears the earliest of Disneyland marks (including Walt Disney Productions) while the other still has it's original foil label  that reads Japan.

Both say Disneyland under the portraits.  These were done in several configurations when the park first opened. 

Asking $25 plus shipping and insurance.

Grolliers 1980s 101 Dalmatians Magical Memories Bisque


Back in the late 1970-80s, a company named Grollier's ran a subscription service for various Disney collectables.  You would sign up and they would send you a piece every other month and bill you half every four weeks.  They did a number of series, and this one is from the Magic Memories Series.  Each piece was limited to 15,000 pieces, but it's doubtful that the total production number was ever reached.  Each stands between six to eight inches tall.  Prior to the Walt Disney Classics Collection, these were the best we could hope for as far a actual scenes from Disney films.


This figurine shows Pongo and three of the pups, sitting in front of the television watching their hero, Thunderbolt.  The detail of these early pieces is quite nice,notice how they sculpted even the back of the television set!


This will be shipped in it's original styrofoam cube, safely protected, just like it came to me when I ordered it many years ago.

$80 plus actual shipping and insurance.

I will be posting more of these in the next couple of days.

1999 Haunted Mansion Pin in Coffin Box LE 1999






From one of the very first Haunted Mansion events, this very cool pin is presented in a satin lined coffin box.  Limited to 1999, it sold out in just one day.

I'm not a huge fan of pins that come with boxes, but this one is just so very cool . . .

$75, plus actual shipping and insurance.

1980s Disney Imagineering Jacket

We got this in the late 80s, back when it was much more difficult to obtain such things!  It's made of a silky type of fabric, and the logos are actually embroidered on to the coat rather than through the use of a patch.

We'll also include the pin you see on the jacket.  We were told that these were the original Disney Dream pins, but I can't say that for sure.  Whatever it is, its a very cool, flat mickey silhouette pin, guaranteed from the late 80s early 90s.

The jacket has been worn, so it is not new, but is in very good condition.

$120 plus actual shipping and insurance.

Rare Vintage Large Disneyland Cup, "Stolen from Disneyland "


An extremely rare piece from the very early days of Disneyland.

This is an oversized cup (measuring four inches tall).

It reads "This cup is the property of Disneyland, not to be taken from the executive conference room"  Inside it reads "stolen from Disneyland".  Not really, it was actually sold in the park, but a good joke none the less.

Therer is a small representation of the Sleeping Beauty Castle on one side of the cup, and the bottom contains the early turquoise triangle Walt Disney Productions mark.

In very good condition as shown, asking $115 plus postage and insurance.  

Tinker Bell PJ (Pajama) Bag/Pillow

I've had this since (probably) the early 1990s. It's a pajama bag/pillow with Tink on the front. There is a pocket in the back where you put your jammies. It could use a washing (not a huge deal, but there is light surface soil) and there is a one half inch rip in the seam that could be easily fixed.

Its fifteen inches high and twelve inches wide.

I'm asking $15.00 plus $5.15 Priority mail (Insurance included)

Ultra Rare 1950s Disneyland Ashtray

In my almost 50 years of collecting, I have never seen another piece like this.

Obviously sold at Disneyland in the early days (see the old turquoise triangle mark)  it is a cube shaped ashtray with various department logos on all four sides.  As you can see in the photo, one side says Disneyland, one says Walt Disney Music Company, One says Buena Vista and one side celebrates Walt Disney Productions. 

No chips or cracks, it's in perfect condition, just like the day it was sold (most likely 1955).

Again, this is an extremely rare piece.  Why pays $100s of dollars for pins that were made less than a year ago when you can have a truly rare piece for $150 plus actual shipping and insurance?

Old WDP Mickey Jack in the Box


Hold pending payment.

I will admit that this has seen better days, but the graphics are the kind I love.  The Jack in the Box is made of lithographed tin, which is fairly faded.  The Mickey is made of plastic with a red polka dot sleeve.

The music box itself does not work, so you can't really use it as a Jack in the Box, but it displays nicely.  Mickey can be closed in to the box, but you need to manually open the lid for him to pop up.  From the 1960s it's clearly marked Walt Disney Proiductions.

$14 plus actual shipping and insurance

Huge Figment Plush


We found this packed in a closed bag in a box, so it's close to like new, a small bit of dust, but really, very clean.  He stands a whopping 18 inches tall.

I purchased him in Walt Disney World in the 1990s and he has been packed away ever since.  He still has his original tags.

$35 plus actual shipping and insurance

Older Sebastian Lidded Mug (Little Mermaid)


I got this around teh time of the original release of the Little Mermaid (I believe in Disneyland, but not 100% sure).  It's plastic, and somewhat thermal in that the place where you put the liquid is double walled.  In great shape, its perfect for anyone who loves the Little Mermaid or crustaceans in general.

Asking $14 plus actual shipping and insurance.

1961 Disneyland Map


 Created by the amazing Sam McKim, this map is like taking a trip back in time.  1961 to be exact!

Wow, you can see the Disneyland Hotel the way it was back in the early days, including the heliport, the driving range and the miniature gold coarse.  This map also shows the never completed Liberty Street and Edison Square.  And what fun it is to see where they thought attractions would be placed (and where we now know where they would eventually land, try to find the Haunted House!)

Also included are such missed attractions as the Skyway, the Chicken of the Sea, the Monsanto Hall of Chemistry, and so many more.

I've spent hours pouring over these old maps, discovering so many hidden treasures.  Like I say, a trip back in time.

There is some wear at the folds that clearly shows if you enlarge the picture.  That said, it displays beautifully.  A chance to visit the Disneyland of days gone by.

I'm asking $80 plus shipping and insurance.

Please PM me on Facebook if you're interested.



Wendy Gell Mickey and Minnie Earrings (Late 80s, early 90s)


Back in the late 1980s (or early 90s, sorry, I can't remember exactly) a jewelry artist named Wendy Gell did custom jewelry for the Walt Disney Company.  I fell in love with her pieces since they were so unique.  She is still creating, so if this piques your interest, you can check her out here.

This is a pair of clip on earrings showing Mickey on one ear and Minnie on the other.  Each is silhouetted against a star that is embellished with rhinestones.  These earrings are quite striking, the gold is bright and shiny and the jewels are all intact.  They measure two inches wide and one and one half inches tall.

Truthfully, if you like Disney jewelry, these are pretty rare as they were only made for a short period of time.  Clearly Marked Wendy Gell and Disney Company on the back.

The original cost was $40, I'm asking $25 plus postage and insurance.

Large Goebel Mickey & Minnie Set Ltd Ed


I am offering this adorable set from the 1989 Goebel Collectors Club.  These were made in an edition size of 10,000 and available to members of the club.

Standing 6 1/2 inches high, they've been a centerpiece of my collection for years, because for me, they embody the charm and whimsy of Mickey in the early years.  Since they've been in my showcase since I got them, they are still in absolutely perfect condition (albeit a bit dusty, sorry).

And while I know I probably have the original box and paperwork somewhere (most likely in my attic, and that's a whole other story . . .) these are being sold like you see, no original box, no certificate of authenticity (but then who would bother to conterfeit these I have to ask?  Much easier to fake a COA in my opinion).

The photo is of the actual set, and we will pack well with insurance (we're retired Postal people and tend to over pack as we know too well the hazards of the Postal Service).

I'm asking $195 plus priority postage and shipping.

Captain Hook and Tinker Bell Plate


While most Disney plates have plummeted in popularity, there are some where the graphic is just so wonderful that they are elevated to artwork, and this is just such a plate.  The artwork of both Captain Hook and Tinker Bell is perfectly on model, perfectly capturing this classic moment from Peter Pan.

I do not have the original box or the COA, but we pack very well and haven't hadany problems with our packing, as we tend to over pack.

 $45 plus actual shipping and insurance

Jessica Rabbit Notepad


From the original release of the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I picked this notepad up at the Walt Disney Studio.  Not ure if they were ever sold anywhere else, but that's where I got this one!

Not too large, but look at that Jessica, is she perfect or what?  The back is marked "Made exclusively for the Walt Disney Company".

Still sealed in the original plastic, wrapper, asking $10, first class shipping included (but no insurance).

Daisy Duck Salt and Pepper


Here's an adorable little Daisy Duck, sitting with her shopping bag, obviously tired after a big day of shopping!  This salt and pepper set is in excellent condition.

Asking $8 plus shipping and insurance

Donald Duck 60th Birthday Watch and Pin 127/500


A very cool watch that was released in 1994 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Donald Duck.

Made in an edition size of only 500, this is brand new and unworn, number 127 of 500.  It also comes with a pin that was exclusive to the watch.  The watch will need new batteries.

A hard to find piece that is perfect for anyone who lovers the duck!

Asking $65 plus postage and insurance

WDW Empress Lilly Riverboat Drink Container


We picked this up at Walt Disney World quite some time ago. 

It's kind of like when you went to Trader Vic's and ordered a special drink and it came in a special tiki mug. 

Well, this is from Walt Disney World and it is an Empress Lilly drink container.  Made of china, it's has a white glaze on the riverboat,  There's a hole in the top where your straw went through.  These were also used as vases when the Empress Lilly was still in use (It's now called Fulton's Crab House).

I'm assuming they no longer use these?  If you know for sure, please, let me know.

And you knew that the Empress Lilly was named after Lillian Disney, right?

No chips or cracks, it's very clean.  I'm asking $28 plus shipping and insurance.

Lion King Talking Piggy Bank


Standing about nine inches tall, This is a very cool talking Lion King piggy bank voiced by the wonderful James Earl Jones.  You hear Mufasa giving his sage advice to the young prince Simba.  While it has never been out of his original box, the box is a bit the worse for wear (please look at the picture, this is the actual piece we are selling).  It works fine but needs new batteries.

Original price $25, asking $20 plus actual postage and insurance

Buzz Lightyear Talking Bank



Standing about nine inches tall, This is a very cool talking Buzz Lightyear piggy bank, voiced by Tim Allen.  While he has never been out of his original box, the box is a bit the worse for wear (please look at the picture, this is the actual piece we are selling).  It works fine but needs new batteries.

Original price $25, asking $20 plus actual postage and insurance

Mrs Potts Piggy Bank


Hold pending payment.

From the time of the original release of Beauty and the Beast, this is a hard rubber piggy bank and a perfect representation of Mrs. Potts.

$10 plus postage and insurance

Vintage Chalk Dopey


I've had this Dopey Bank since the late 1960s, one of the earlier pieces I ever got, but now it's time for him to go to a new home.

He's made of chalk, and I believe he may have been a carnival prize from the early days, but really, I cannot say for sure.  He's in very good condition with just minor flaking as shown in the photo.  There are no Disney markings at all but Dopey is clearly displayed on his drum.  He stands a bit over six inches tall.

I'm asking $50 plus postage and insurance.

Tinker Bell Wand


A silly piece, but I loved the graphic on this "Magic" Tinker Bell wand cardboard holder  Kind of cool, as I imagine most of the backings have been destroyed when some happy child ripped it off to play with the wand.

 I've had it for at least fifteen years and finally decided it was time it went to someone else!

Asking $15 plus shipping.

Huge Snow White and Dwarfs 50th Anniversary Belt Buckle


I purchased this at Disneyland back in 1987,  It's a quite large brass belt buckle, about four inches across.  As you can see in the picture, it shows a bas relief of Snow White and all seven Dwarfs, with the words Snow White 50th Anniversary.

While not technically a limited edition, I have to admit that I've not seen another one since I bought this one.  There is a companion heart shaped necklace which I will be posting later.

Interestingly enough, it is marked copight 1937 the Walt Disney Company.

A unique addition to any Snow White or Disney Collection, I'm asking $70 plus actual shipping and insurance.

Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Noter Dame Christmas Ornament


Hold pending payment.

From Hallmark, this is a perfect representation of Quasimodo, looking exactly like he did when ringing the bells of Notre Dame.  The original box is a bit the worse for wear (see the photo) but the ornament is like new, never displayed.

$10 plus actual postage

Tinker Bell Disneyland 45th Birthday Paper Hat

Kind of silly, but yes, I kept my paper hat from July 17, 20, Disneyland's 45th birthday.  Its exactly what you see in the picture, with an adorable Tinker Bell spreading her pixie dust over the hat, with the Castle off to the right.

I'm asking $5 plus actual postage.

Vintage Bas Relief Metal Disneyland Ashtray WDP


Another ashtray from the very early days, I love this piece for its intricate detail.

Look how they've included every brick, flag and plant in the Castle.  And who doesn't miss the original Tomorrowland with the Moonliner and the Clock of the World?  You get a great view of Main Street just as if you were standing in the hub looking down towards the Castle.  And then there's the Tiki Room, which remains a favorite to this very day.

Made of some kind of unknown metal some of the plating is worn off, but it is over 50 years old!  The photo is of the actual piece I'm selling, I think it looks fine, taking into account its' age.

Marked Walt Disney Productions, this is a wonderful addition for anywon who collects vintage Disneyland or Disney smoking paraphernailia.

I'm asking $35 plus shipping and insurance

Disneyland Anniversary Plate, Mickey, Minnie the Castle and Tinker Bell!


In 1995 Disneyland first created a large line of merchandise to celebrate the occasion.  Prior to that point, there would be a few pieces for the Parks birthday, but in 95, they went all out.

One series was a line of plates that showed characters in front of iconic Disney attractions.

This plate shows Mickey, Mickey and Minnie in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle, with fireworks lighting the sky.  A petite Tinker Bell is flying above, spreading her own special brand of pixie dust over Disneyland.

I no longer have the original box or the Certificate of Authenticity, but it will be well packed, promise!

Sculpted by Christopher Holt, 
Made in Great Britain,
