DISNEYLAND ITEMS
DISNEYLAND SUMMER 1959 "SPECIAL INSERT" For the 1958 and 1959 Disneyland Guidebooks, to advertise the Summer of 1959 expansion, with the Monorail, Matterhorn, and Submarine attraction. One of the more sought after Disneyland items, and as an insert, an item that can be difficult to find (a quick check on the internet as of this writing, found just one copy on Ebay at $95.00). Measures approximately 8" x 11.5", four pages (8" x 23" folded in half). Features evocative and colorful artwork (some of my favorite), as well as as note from Walt Disney, and brief descriptions (with art) of the Matterhorn, Submarine Voyage, Disneyland-Alweg Monorail System, New Autopia Freeways, and the Motorboat Cruises. Condition is excellent, with a touch of corner wear, otherwise bright with no fading (bit of yellowing due to age). Copyright 1959. $65.00
DISNEYLAND IN NATURAL COLOR 1955 GUIDEBOOK "THE HOLY GRAIL" The much coveted 1955 Disneyland Picture Souvenir Guidebook. The second guidebook from Disneyland (the first being a pre-opening guidebook that featured just artwork), but sold only very briefly at Disneyland in 1955 (because Walt hated the pictures -- Sleeping Beauty Castle with a fire hydrant and pile of dirt in front, and so on). This was down outside of Disney, and Walt was not please, so the next year, the 1956 Disneyland guidebook was put together by Disney and so began the quality years of Disneyland guidebooks. Prior to the internet, this guidebook was quite rare, and at Disney's shows would command upwards of $400 to $500. It is not quite as rare today, but still hard to find (as of this writing, a quick check of Ebay current and past auctions turned up zero copies). For Disneyland's 50th, they did a reprint of this, which dropped the demand a bit, but most collectors and Disneyland enthusiasts like to have the original. Condition is Very Good plus. Some yellowing due to age, lite corner creasing, and very minor chipping on the back cover corners. No writing inside, and all photos are bright with no fading. Overall, a very nice copy. $275.00
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN TWELVE COLORFUL SCENES IN DISNEYLAND Postcard Folder. 1969. One of my favorite items on my first trip to Disneyland (and still my favorite attraction). A postcard folder with 12 different images of Pirates (and the good ol' Pirates before all the modifications). What made this special was the full color Marc Davis Pirate concept art on the cover. There is one more Davis illustration on the inside cover, along with a couple of paragraphs about the attraction. Photos were all professionally shot and give a great feel for the attraction. Original price 25 cents. Folder has been sent through the mail and features an address and postmark (stamp has been lifted). On the inside flap where the "Greetings From" is, is written in pencil the name of the sender. Edges are yellowing a bit, and there is some foxing on the cover (as seen in the scan). Overall, Fine plus condition, with just a few minor issues to the front and back cover (interior photos are perfect). $27.00
OFFICIAL DISNEYLAND RICHFIELD ROAD MAP 1955 Great opening year map with wonderful retro graphics. Richfield service stations sponsored the Tomorrowland Richfield Autopia, and at various "friendly" Richfield dealers you could pick up the four-fold brochure, featuring the main routes to Disneyland in southern California, as well as information on how to reach Disneyland. Of course a nice commercial on "Be Sure To Visit Richfield at Disneyland" was included, as well as a blurb for The Disneyland Hotel (and also one for "New Richfield Ethyl"). Very bright and colorful. Has some yellowing due to age, as well as a minor corner fold on the front cover. Dealer's stamp at bottom (Gresham, Oregon). Overall, nice condition, VG to Fine. These do not show up too often, as with most maps they were discarded once their usefulness was done. As of this writing, I could find just one on the Internet (yes, Ebay again), and at $100.00. This one can be yours for just $65.00
DISNEYLAND: INSIDE STORY by Randy Bright, 1987. Easily one of the better books on the history of Disneyland, that includes a wealth of full-color images (artwork and so forth). Published by Abrams in 1987 in a small press run, the book quickly sold out and was commanding upwards of $500. A reprint was planned, but Imagineer Randy Bright was tragically killed an a bicycle/automobile accident and the project was shelved. Still considered one of the "must have" books on the idea Disney history bookshelf. 240 pages, hardback, 9.5" x 12" with dust jacket, 238 illustrations (151 in color). Book is in very nice, almost unread condition. Dust jacket is bright with no fading and no apparent edge wear. A wee touch of shelf wear to covers (lite scuffing and some minimal indentations). Jacket is in brodart. Book is bright, tight, and square. Book is apparently unread, and still carries the Abrams reader comment card. Other than the small issues with the dust jacket, would be close to As New (FINE as is). $125.00
DAVY CROCKETT
DISNEYLAND LINE 1982 SIGNED BY FESS PARKER On August 19, 1982, the Disneyland Line (Cast Member Publication) did a three-page article on Fess Parker as Davy Crockett (including eight black and white photographs). Publication is complete and in nice condition (just a wee bit of wear), and is signed in black felt tip pen "Fess Parker 'Davy Crockett'". $75.00
DAVY CROCKETT STAMP BOOK With 60 Color Stamps of Scenes from the Famous Motion Picture, and Drawings to Color, Golden Press, 1955 Wonderful item from the Crockett Craze. Book sold by Golden Press (yellowed newsprint inside) with full-color stamps to apply. All stamps are pasted in, but the book is a bit rough (looking for a loving home). Cover wear, and yellowed paper inside is somewhat brittle. Cover is loose, but softcover book is complete. A Fair to Good, with the bonus of having all stamps intact (I have only ever found one with a full set of stamps). Nice item from a wonderful time, $20.00
THE DAVY CROCKETT CRAZE: A Look at the 1950's Phenomenon and Davy Crockett Collectibles (SIGNED) By Paul F. Anderson, 1997. A look at the 1950s phenomenon and the collectibles. This is the best book ever written! 167 pages; Nice condition and unread, but does have minimal shelf wear to covers (lite scuffing/rubbing) as well as some edge and corner wear (again, just a wee bit). Remember when every kid longed to wear a coonskin cap, play the latest Davy Crockett board game, and imitate the TV folk hero who was causing this mania to break out across the country? We all wanted to visit Frontierland at the new Disneyland. The year was 1955. The Hit Parade listed "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" as the top song for weeks. All the major magazines carried stories on Disney and Davy. Now you can relive those days. Read how the events unfolded and what collectors prize today as treasures of the Davy Crockett phenomenon. (Signed and/or personalized at your request.) $55.00.
WALT DISNEY'S DAVY CROCKETT: KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER COLORING BOOK With Fess Parker, Authorized Edition, Whitman, 1955. The one and only true Davy Coloring book. When the Crockett Craze hit in 1954-1955, the American frontiersman was in the public domain, so numerous merchandisers hopped on the bandwagon and put out a plethora of "un" official Davy Crockett merchandise (over 3000 items). Disney had no legal standing on this, so they come up with the brilliant idea to brand everything "Walt Disney's Official Davy..." and use Fess Parker's image wherever possible. So a quick check of Ebay will show numerous Davy Crockett coloring books, but not one single one is a Disney coloring book. This is considered one of the rarer Crockett paper items, and features a fantastic full-color photo of Fess on the cover. 8.5" x 11", published by Whitman, with bright red cover (and only 25 cents). Few of these survive, and hardly any in this condition. The Crockett craze was so intense, the kids (darn kids!) played heavily with their items, and it is rare to find any type of Disney Crockett material in good condition. The interior is free from coloring or writing. Paper is yellowing (as is common, as pulp paper was used for these), but not yet brittle. The cover is smashing, with little to no fading 
(really pops, awesome cover). Has a few issues. First is a dark stain at the top that circles down into the "cket" of Crockett. A minor corner bend on the lower right hand corner, and finally a price sticker "lift" over the "k" in Coloring Book. The real gem is the color photo of Fess, it is almost unblemished, save for a wee touch of wear here and there. Quite popular with this book, was the back cover "Your Own Davy Crockett Cap." Every kid HAD to have a Coonskin cap, but sadly not all could afford one (and to make matters worse, within six months the Craze consumed all of the beaver pelts, and cost quickly rose from 25 cents a pound to $5.00 a pound--sending the cost of an authentic Coonskin cap through the roof). This is the only one of this coloring book (other than the one I have in my own DHI collection) where the back is UNCUT. Thus, quite rare. $85.00
DISNEY LEGENDS SIGNED ITEMS
NESSIE AND THE LITTLE BLIND BOY OF LOCH NESS, Signed Limited Edition, A New Story and Artwork by Ken Anderson. Done in 1992 by Stabur Press and Laughter Publications, Inc., hardback with dust jacket. There were many titles accorded Ken Anderson during his forty four year career with Walt Disney Productions. He became an Imagineer, Art Director, and had too many more titles to mention here. He always had the knack of understanding exactly how Walt Disney felt, and was able to translate his ideas into characters and Disneyland attractions. This led to his being called "Walt Disney's right hand man," a title he richly deserved. In 1991, Ken was given the Disney Legend award. Nessie is a story that Ken developed over the years after he left Disney. Nessie is the lovable Loch Ness Monster, Mac is the little blind boy, and Ken is his all-knowing seeing-eye bird. The theme of the story is one of overcoming a handicap by using happy music, hope, and joy. There was 1000 limited, signed copies published. Each book has its own individual number and signature, and is filled with full-color artwork by Ken. Original retail was $49.95. In unread condition, but jacket does have a touch of shelf wear. $35.00
KEN ANDERSON 101 DALMATIANS LAYOUT FAN CARD Signed In Ink At the Mouse Club Conventions back in the early 1990s (boy do I miss those), Kim and Julie would have cardstock "fan cards" printed up for the various guests that were to appear. This way, people could have an item signed that actually showcased some of their work. This particular card was used only briefly, as it was not too popular (compared to so many other images Ken did). It is sepia toned in color, on a cardstock and features one of Ken's layout drawings for 101 Dalmatians. It is signed in black ink "Ken Anderson '92". Measures an odd 10.5" x 11.5" and would be nice framed. Minimal wear to corners/edges. $45.00
LIBERTY MAGAZINE March 2, 1940, Pinocchio, Figaro, Cleo, and Jiminy Cricket Full-Color Cover, HUMOROUSLY SIGNED BY WARD KIMBALL "Class of '32 Who Animated J. Cricket in 1940" Very unique and one-of-a-kind Ward Kimball item. Member of the famed Nine Old Men, and a creative animator and artist. He was ready to leave Disney by the time Pinocchio was in production, but Walt approached him personally about animating Pinocchio's conscience, Mr. Jiminy Cricket. The story has been oft told of how he started with a Cricket ("Very un-Disney like") and slowly removed bits and pieces until finally he was left with a "Little Green Man. And people believe he is a cricket, because we tell them he is a cricket." Of course, Jiminy became one of the iconic Disney characters and perennial spokesperson (spokescricket?). Signed in Pen. Cover has some creasing through the middle, as well as corner and edge wear. Still the cover is bright and looks nice (the creasing does detract a bit, goes right through the middle). Period items signed by Ward (or any of the Nine Old Men) are increasingly hard to find (there weren't many). $200.00
CHIP AND DALE ORIGINAL B&W PUBLICITY STILL, SIGNED BY ANIMATOR BILL JUSTICE Wonderful B&W Disney Productions original publicity still (NOT a pre-print or computer print, actual PR photo) featuring those lovable chipmunks, Chip and Dale from the short cartoon "Dragon Around." Backside has the publicity information: "Chip listens, with disgust, as Dale exclaims about the dragon he has just encountered in this scene from Walt Disney's animated cartoon, DRAGON AROUND. The Donald DUck one-reeler is filmed in brilliant Technicolor." Justice was a noted animator and Imagineer, and was probably most famous as one of the main animators for Chip and Dale. Photo has some wear, including numerous pinholes in all four corners. Obvious this was a working still somewhere. Still, image is nice, signature is clear and bright, and it would frame up very nicely. $85.00
COUNTRY BEAR JAMBOREE WED IMAGINEER ART POSTCARDS FROM DISNEYLAND, Set of Eight, All Signed in Ink by Artist Marc Davis. These postcards were sold in a vending machine outside of the Country Bear Jamboree attraction in Bear Country in the early 1970s at Disneyland (and later also sold at WDW--these are marked just "Disneyland" on the back, and carry the DL postcard id of #0111...). Each features a reproduction of one of the original WED Imagineer (read: Marc Davis) sketches done by Nine Old Man Marc Davis used to create the Country Bear Jamboree show. From these drawings Imagineers sculpted miniature scale models and then full-size figures. Through the magic of Audio-Animatronics, the performers were "brought-to-life" to sing, strum guitars, and perform in a zany frontier musical (that frankly, needs to be brought back to Disneyland!!!). There were four in a set, and four different sets (so a total of 16
different cards), so this is a "half" a full set. They were sold in a vending machine at the grand cost of 25 cents (at first anyway). I am unaware of a full SIGNED set by Marc, but I suspect there
might be a few. Signed Bear postcards have run as high as $100.00 on average (and almost double that for a Big Al!). They are quite rare to find now (signed that is), because Marc did not sign a lot of them (he told me that himself). If anyone is interested, I also have a full set of all twelve Pirates of the Caribbean postcards, each signed by Marc (at the time he signed them for me, he said it was only the third complete set he had signed). Cost is $2500.00 for the Pirates set (they have sold as high as $300.00 each, signed). Marc was sort of the quintessential Walt Imagineer and is a strong influence in what the Disneyland of the 1960s and 1970s looked like. The sketches for the Country Bear Jamboree were originally planned for the Mineral King Ski Resort, which was ultimately killed by the Sierra Club. While working on the Bears, Walt came into Marc's office, and started to laugh out loud at some of his bears. Marc thought it was perhaps the last time Walt laughed, as he looked rough and within a few weeks had entered the hospital and passed away. Marc also told me that it was the only time he had ever heard Walt tell him "Goodbye." Cost for all eight bears (that are in near mint plus shape, just a touch of aging) is $550.00
CARL BARKS ORIGINAL ART-UNCLE SCROOGE AND HIS FIRST DIME, HAND-WRITTEN AND SIGNED LETTER, AND PERSONALIZED ENVELOPE 1982 A while back when they were auctioning off Carl Barks' estate (sadly, as I really felt the entire collection should not have been split 100 ways, but rather given to a research institution), I purchased a great deal of material (trying to preserve as much as possible). I have only recently been going through stuff to remove some items here and there to resell (all items sold, are copied and kept with the original file sets, so someday whoever gets the DHI collection--probably the WDFF--it will still keep its historical integrity ... so purchase with this in mind). A wonderful little collection of ephemera from Disney Legend and Uncle Scrooge creator, Carl Barks (The Good-Duck Artist). Hand-written letter features two paragraphs answering a story question on "Whale of a Good Deed" and a comment on how "you writers can come up with interesting diagnosis of my stories." Signed in full, "Best wishes for a good year. Carl Barks". The sketch is on the back (unlined) side of a 4"x7" notecard, and features a signed sketch of Uncle Scrooge and the comment "Yes, I still have my first dime!" Unique, and special, considering McDuck's attachment to the First Dime (I am not aware of another sketch such as this that features the infamous Dime -- perhaps Magica de Spell stole it?). Sketch is done in pen. Smashing! Date on the collection is April 5, 1982. $725.00
ANNETTE HAND-SIGNED SEXY SWIMSUIT 8X10 BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPH This is an original, hand-signed (in blue ink) photograph of Annette Funicello. It is guaranteed for life, and an actual signed item. This photo is all Ebay as a "signed photo" but when you read the fine print in each of these auctions, you realize ... and I quote: "This item is professionally reprinted from the original hand signed item." So what they call in normal (read: honest) circles, a "reproduction." This photo does show up from time to time as a legitimate signed item, as early in the 1990s Annette do a few signings at various Movie Collectible Shows (where this was obtained). It is easy to tell the originals, as upon close examination, you can see little "ink blots" where she paused with the pen. Also, holding the photograph at an angle to a heavy light source, you can see that the signature is not "part" of the photo, but rather "on top" of the photo. So be careful. (Be REALLY careful with signed Walt Disney items -- do NOT buy them on Ebay, get them from Phil Sears or another respected dealer!). Signed Annette items (especially photos), because of her condition, are becoming quite rare. This particular photo is one of the more commonly found signed photos, and is quite popular due to her rather uh, er, striking pose (I think Walt would not have approved). I only have one, and photo is mint with a nice signature (the MS was beginning to take effect at this time, and you can tell from here "ette" that it is there). $100.00
WALT DISNEY'S SPIN AND MARTY COLORING BOOK From The Exciting Mickey Mouse Club TV Show SIGNED BY TIM CONSIDINE and DAVE STOLLERY Wonderful vintage item by Whitman from 1956. Coloring book was a tie-in with the ever popular Spin and Marty serial on the Mickey Mouse Club, and shows the two pals at the Triple-R Ranch attempting to rope a calf (cow? I don't know and I'm from Wyoming! They are all cows to me.). Signed in ink on the front cover by both, including their "AKAs". Interior does have a few pages color, and the guts are separated from the cover (and title page and maybe one or two more are missing). The gem is obviously the great cover and the two signatures. Cover has some wear (creasing, edge wear, chipping, etc.), but is still bright with little to no fading (which is common). Would be nice displayed on a shelf, or even matted and framed and hung on the wall. $55.00
BOOKS
ONE DAY AT DISNEY Hyperion Press, 2000, hardcover with dust jacket, by Pam Brandon, Susan Meyer, Susan E., and Wendy Lefkon. Hard to find due to a limited press run, and because it did not sell well in its first (and only) press run. Features a photographic tour of the four Disney theme parks (Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World WDW) , at specific times during the day. Loaded with color images and superficial text. Still, brilliant full-color images...striking! Book is near mint and apparently unread. As is common with this book, the dust jacket has some minor shelf wear (jacket is in a brodart, so looks close to as new). $95.00

DISNEYLAND SUMMER 1959 "SPECIAL INSERT" For the 1958 and 1959 Disneyland Guidebooks, to advertise the Summer of 1959 expansion, with the Monorail, Matterhorn, and Submarine attraction. One of the more sought after Disneyland items, and as an insert, an item that can be difficult to find (a quick check on the internet as of this writing, found just one copy on Ebay at $95.00). Measures approximately 8" x 11.5", four pages (8" x 23" folded in half). Features evocative and colorful artwork (some of my favorite), as well as as note from Walt Disney, and brief descriptions (with art) of the Matterhorn, Submarine Voyage, Disneyland-Alweg Monorail System, New Autopia Freeways, and the Motorboat Cruises. Condition is excellent, with a touch of corner wear, otherwise bright with no fading (bit of yellowing due to age). Copyright 1959. $65.00
DAVY CROCKETT

ONE OF WALT’S BOYS: An Insider’s Account of Disney’s Golden Years By Harry Tytle, 1997. SIGNED by HARRY, MARION (his wife), and BILL JUSTICE (WITH A GOOFY DRAWING: see image) Harry started at Disney in 1936 and within several years he became the Studio Production Manager. In 1945, Tytle began keeping a daily diary of his work at the Studio. This book is based on those diaries. Bill Justice wrote in the forward: “This is it–the indisputable account of the Walt Disney Studio by the gentleman who arranged and personally attended more meetings with Walt Disney than anyone in the organization.” The book offers 26 illustrations (several color tipped in caricatures) and photos (including a great one of Walt working with a couple of the boys in his office!), but the real pièce de résistance of this book is the enormous amount of great information, much of it never before released—and it is accompanied by an exhaustive index. The book was limited to 750 copies and each one is hand-numbered and signed by Tytle. The edition includes a tipped in envelope titled “Reports to Walt” that holds a facsimile three-page inter-office communication from Harry to Walt dated 4/16/65 on the 1965-66 Disneyland TV Show. Another neat extra is a fold out (15" x 20") WDP flow chart dated May 21, 1943, showing how the Disney Studio functions. It 
lists over 50 different departments, who they answer to, their function, and how it all flows back to Walt. The book is printed on high-quality paper (it weighs close to four pounds!) and is hardbound. Remember it is limited to 750 copies (the Justice for Disney book was limited to 1000 and now sells for over $350...when you can find it!). The only place to get this initially was from Harry or the publisher (they ran one blurb on the book in the spring of 1997). However, I was given the opportunity to sell copies back when it came out in fact, I was the only person or institution that the author and publisher agreed to sell copies to—and other than a few book signings, I was given an exclusive n this book!). In the time I had them for sale, I sold close to 200 of these books, and then the publisher finally ran out. This was one of the regular editions of the book (the 750), and is number 561/750. However, since I sold so many copies, the publisher and Harry gave me two "special" copies. Each one was signed by Marian Collins Tytle on the dedication page (Harry dedicated the book to her), and was also signed by Bill Justice on the foreword page that he wrote--included was a Justice drawing of Goofy and the words "I'm Goofy about this book. Me Too, Bill Justice" (see image). Bill signed two other editions. $600.00

DISNEYLAND: The Nickel Tour 1995 (SIGNED). By Bruce Gordon and David Mumford. This much sought after book is now, sadly, pretty rare. It is a seminal piece on the history of Disneyland, as it takes the tour the Walt's Magic Kingdom via the postcards. Small edition of 3000, this is the First Edition. It is signed by both Bruce and David (I sure do miss them!). Hardback with dust jacket. The only other signed first edition I could find (as of this writing) on the Internet was at ABE and listed at $1013. This copy, $700.00.

INTRODUCTION—Welcome to the Institute's Virtual Book shop. Over the twenty-five plus years of my Disney history career, I have sought out historical information concerning Walt Disney's creative legacy. I also discovered that more than just I had this interest, and so to help the career along (read: be able to afford to do more interviews) I started selling duplicates and items I was no longer interested in. This ultimately resulted in "The Disneyana Times" a 24 to 32 page newspaper published back in the 1990s, complete with all sorts of Disney reference material available. I am continuing this tradition now at the Institute, and offering duplicates and other items in order to fund the Institute, and also, in order to do additional interviews (and pay medical bills, a sad reality of life). I have an extensive collection of this material, and so these offerings at first are just the proverbial "tip of the iceberg." If you are in search of something, please let me know and I'll see if I have it. There is probably a good chance, especially if your requested item is a book or Disney paper. Check back often, I plan on putting items up every other day or so. Email: povpfa AT gmail DOT com (You know what to do.)
PRIOR SALE—All items are subject to prior sale. I will sell via email only, which gives everybody a fair chance. If two or more people request the same item, I will go by the date and time stamp on the email. Once payment has been confirmed, the item will be marked as SOLD on this list. Email: povpfa AT gmail DOT com (You know what to do.)
PAYMENT & SHIPPING—Payment can be made via paypal (once sale is confirmed, I will send an Invoice) or check/mo. Shipping in the United States is $5.00 for the first item, and $1.00 for each additional item. (Shipping is free for orders over $100). Foreign Shipping is considerably more. Unfortunately, the US Post Office has taken our old "Surface Mail" rate away, so shipping to Foreign Countries will be based on cost for Cheapest Air Mail plus Insurance.
MY WANT LIST FOR POSSIBLE TRADE—Many of you know, I have been attempting over the last three decades to compile the second largest Archives on Walt Disney (no need to mention who is number one). I used to purchase a great deal of this material, but currently medical bills are my number one focus (and more interviews). However, I am always interested in possible trade for items I do not have, or research of interest. I am interested in Studio Documents (notebooks, concept meeting transcripts, inter-office memos, proposals, reports, lawsuits, scripts, journals, publicity materials, correspondence, etc.)., primarily pre-1971 and Walt-centric. However, I am also collecting material on EPCOT Center. A longtime want is the 1940s Heath Portrait book Walt Disney Universal Entertainer. I am also looking for esoteric magazine and newspaper articles on Walt and his creative legacy. My number one focus now is Disney World War II items. I have collected an enormous amount of material on this (and office full), but every few weeks I am surprised by something. This is for the book I am working on for the Walt Disney Family Foundation, so I would happily trade for material I do not have. Thanks for your help.
