While it might take a day or two to reply, we'll sure do all we can to help answer questions about your vintage Walt Disney or Disneyland collectible.

In particular, we try to specialize in items produced during Walt Disney's lifetime (1901 - 1966).

Much of the new stuff is nice, but we love the original Walt Disney collectibles!

Best wishes as you build your vintage Disneyana collection!

So sorry, it would help if I posted the pictures, right?

QUESTION:
Wondering/hoping you can help me with this. We have a Minnie Mouse plush, really quite old looking.... maybe 70s? She is still tagged so will that increase the buyer interest/value?

ANSWER:
Sorry to say that there is only marginal interest in collecting Disney merchandise from the 1970's. There is simply not much demand for merchandise of this era. Resale price would likely be $5 to $10 for this Minnie bean bag.

Hello, would you be willing to ID this piece from a completed auction? There was discussion about this pottery Dumbo on both the U.S. Pottery Board and the Australian Collectibles Board. No one ever came up with a definitive attribution and I'm very curious.

If you'd like to refer to the other threads, here they are:

ANSWER:
While the piece in that auction is remarkably similar to the one produced by American Pottery / Evan K. Shaw, it is not a match. Your piece came from a slightly different mold, with different colors applied. In addition, the painting isn't quite as detailed as those done in the US. We're aware that Australia had a separate production system from pieces produced in the US; one that we're not very educated in. It's possible that the piece is completely legitimate, but unauthorized reproductions are also known to exist from the same era. We wouldn't pay that much money without the original "Dumbo / Evan K. Shaw" foil label.

Thanks, Dave... not my piece, but most of us were pretty sure it wasn't a Vernon/AP/Shaw/Metlox piece, so were trying to figure out who might have made it. Sometimes, even when it's not my own item, I get so curious about a piece that it just drives me nuts until I can ID it. Thanks so much again.

Dave:

I have a couple of Mickey Mouse Stuffed Animals that are about 3 feet tall and have a long tail on them. I am pretty sure the long tail is what makes them unique because usually the ones I see have no tail at all. I am wondering how much these items are worth?

ANSWER:
There isn't much demand for these items. They were made after the late 1980's, when Michael Eisner was at the helm of the company. Unfortunately, it just doesn't have the same lustre as with items created during Walt Disney's personal reign over the Magic Kingdom.

I just have to say that I think it's a very nice thing that you do!
I have a small red train engine with an older looking winnie the pooh head sticking out the window. On the side of the train it says Disneyland under that it says (copyright)DISNEY CHINA. When you look through the front of the train it shows a picture of a ?roller coaster train coming down a mountain with Disneyland written on it. (almost like a view master picture) Can you tell me anything about it? THANKS!

ANSWER:
These plastic figures were created to celebrate Disneyland's 40th Anniversary. The figures were offered for free in McDonald's Happy Meals. They typically sell today for $3 to $5 each.

ANSWER:
Sorry, but we don't have much information about Disney merchandise from foreign countries. It's not likely to maintain its value for long in that rubber will deteriorate over time, and there just isn't much demand for water bottles. We'd recommend selling asap and putting the funds toward a ceramic or metal figure; one that will last for many years to come.
