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.

Tink is as delicate as can be, covered in gold, and there is a glass flower bud and the works Disneyland on the front of the bell

$40 plus actual shipping and insurance

1976 Disneyland Vacationland Magazine


A great piece for those who love old Disneyland, this is the 1976 issue of the Disneyland Vacation Magazine from 1976.  Put out quarterly for years, it contains info on the park and surrounding areas.

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

Vintage Disneyland Bisque Bambi Vase (WDP)

Another early piece from Disneyland, this stands just a bit over six inches tall.  In perfect condition, the Bambi is sculpted into a recessed oval in the bisque vase.

A rare and hard to find piece from the early days of the park, the word Disneyland is written in gold on the bottom of the front, and @Walt Disney Productions is printed on the bottom.  The original foil Japan label is still on the bottom.

Asking $70 plus actual 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

1956 Nash Ads, Shot in Disneyland!

In 1956 Nash shot several magazine ads in Disneyland.

I've always loved these, not just for the vintage cars, but for the look of the park when it first opened.

These are $10 each, plus shipping.  I'm happy to combine shipping if you buy more than one.
