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.

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!

Price reduced to $22. plus shipping and insurance (usually $5.15 Priority Mail, insurance included).

1995 Disneyland 40th Anniversary Small World Donald and Daisy Plate with Tink

This plate shows Donald, dressed in Mexican attire and Daisy as a young lass from Holland.  They're standing in front of Small World, a beloved attraction designed by the fabled Mary Blair.  A petite Tinker Bell is flying above, spreading her own special brand of pixie dust over Disneyland.

Arden Bambi Sculpture, Rare?


I've looked all over and can't find a lot of info on this little guy.  I can only tell you what I know for sure.  The bottom is marked

Walt Disney Classics Bambi, 
Arden Sculptures, 
Sculpted by Christopher Holt, 
Made in Great Britain,

I can tell you that it's made of resin and was gifted to me from a friend in England some 20 or so years ago.  It's somewhat unusual to see Bambi this young, he's usually portrayed as older. 

Also included (but not shown in the photo is a wooden base.

Early Disneyland Ashtray WDP with Tinker Bell!


Another ashtray from the early Days of Disneyland, this one shows Tinker Bell flying off to the side of a beautiful pink Castle.

Measuring about four inches across, it's made of heavy white china.

Marked Walt Disney Productions, you can date the earlier Disneyland pieces by the triangle-ish shaped turquoise logo seen on the back of this ashtray.

Asking $10 plus actual postage

Early Disneyland Mini Plate WDP


Similar to an ashtray I've already posted, this is one of the mini plates they used to sell in the early days of Disneyland.

Measuring 4 inches across, you can date the earlier Disneyland pieces by the triangle-ish shaped turquoise logo seen on the back of this plate.  The hanging cord is original, but I would replace it if you plan on hanging this up!

Early Disneyland Ashtray

Vintage Disneyland Plate with Castle and Matterhorn

Back in the early days of Disneyland, they used to sell a lot of miniature plates.  The selection of images is huge, some being realistic and others looking more like concept art for the park.  Most, like this one, measure just about four inches across.

I love this rendition of the Castle, it looks so very romantic.  Not much like the real castle, but quite beautiful.  The mountain off to the side isn't really the Matterhorn, but it's placed where the Matterhorn will eventually be!

You can date the earlier Disneyland pieces by the triangle-ish shaped turquoise logo seen on the back of this plate.  The hanging cord is original, but I would replace it if you plan on hanging this up!

Sleeping Beauty Kiss Lenticular Watch


I love lenticulars, doesn't everyone?  Also sometimes called Winkies (at least by me) they are the images that seem to move.  Think of those gag eyeglasses where the eyes wink.

I've collected a LOT of lenticulars over the years and it's time to let go of a few.

This is a lenticular watch that shows Prince Phillip as he bends over to give Aurora her waking kiss.

This was really hard to photograph, not just because lenticulars are hard to capture, but this one has never been opened and the plastic case is pretty scratched.

So this is brand shiny new inside of a not so shiny plastic blister pack.

If you love Winkies, or Sleeping Beauty, this is a great deal.

I'm asking $10 plus actual shipping.

Enchanted Tiki Room Tangaroa Concept

 
 Years ago, I was given a box of color copies of concept designs. Always an appreciator of the origin of Disney pieces, I intended to frame these and mount them on my wall, but alas, I never got around to it.

This is a concept design for the Enchanted Tiki Room Tangaroa Lamp, created in 2005 in an edition of only 500.

While the concept is quite beautiful, of course the finished product was even more so! The lamp was designed and sculpted by Jody Daily and Kevin Kidney (and do I ever wish I had the lamp!).

Still, I love the process by which these Disney items are brought to life, and this is a perfect example of a starting point for a fabulous piece of sculpture.

The image measures 10.5 inches by 13 1/4 inches, and the actual paper is 11 by 17. Again, this is a XEROX COLOR COPY (on heavy paper), not an original.

Still quite beautiful in itself.

I'm asking $45 plus actual shipping.

Mickey and Minnie Baby/Childrens Mugs

Perfect for the little ones, here are two baby mugs. Marked 1984 copyright Disney, each stands 3 inches tall. $7 for the pair, plus actual shipping and insurance.

 
 

Snow White Plates

The price on these plates has been reduced from $25 down to $20 each.

Three different plates showing scenes from the film that started it all!

This plate was made in 1987 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Snow White. Please excuse the lighting, the plate is vibrant and beautiful, the camera just caught a lot of reflection. The plate measures seven and one half inches across and has been in the original box since I purchased it 26 years ago! Needless to say, the plate is perfect (the box not so much, but I will include it). Made in Japan (that shows how old it is!) it is plate #452/9500. On many of these early "collectables", the run was never completed.



 Showing Snow White at the Wishing Well, this is a Collectors Plate From the Disney Collections First Edition Series #1858/15000. Marked Walt Disney Productions, these were produced in the early 1980s, as the company switched from Walt Disney Productions to the Walt Disney Company in 1986. Like many of these early "collectables", the run was most likely never completed.

Showing the finale of the film, this plate shows most of the major characters from the film. This is #1351/15000. Marked Walt Disney Productions, these were produced in the early 1980s, as the company switched from Walt Disney Productions to the Walt Disney Company in 1986. Like many of these early "collectables", the run was most likely never completed.
Each plate is $20, plus actual shipping and insurance.  If you get more than one, I'm happy to combine to save you some money on shipping.

Early Disneyland Vintage Tankard, Figural from Fantasyland

A hard to find piece from the Disneyland of years gone by. This figural mug shows the Sleeping Beauty Castle in all its glorious original colors. The mug can be dated to the 50s/60s by the mark shown on the bottom. There were also figural plates for each land in the park.

love all the early pieces! No chips or cracks.

$45 plus actual shipping and insurance to your address.
