VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS
INTRODUCTION Happy Holidays to all and welcome to our last auction of 2021. I want to thank all of you, whether you are a collector, consignor, or fan, for supporting us as we continue to offer amazing artifacts from the Disney Studios and Parks. As collectors ourselves, working on these catalogs is something that makes our jobs as fun as they are rewarding. This auction includes a few items that I would like to highlight, as they will benefit a few important causes. Lots 77 and 78 are two original Disney paintings by world-renowned artist Christian Lassen. Lassen’s mastery of marine artistry and bold color is enough alone for these pieces to stand out, however, these paintings are even more special in that their sale will benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Greater Las Vegas. The RMHC is a non-profit organization that creates and supports programs in the greater Las Vegas area that directly benefit children and their families. Additionally, lot 70 in this catalog is an original production maquette and signed figure from Pixar’s Up, which will benefit The Ed Asner Family Center. Legendary actor Ed Asner voiced Carl in the animated film, and the sale of these artifacts will help The Ed Asner Family Center in their goal of supporting neurodivergent children and adults. We are honored to help bring awareness to these important charitable organizations and we hope you will read more about them in our catalog. As we move into 2022, we have a lot of big plans and future auctions in store, including the largest personal Disney Park collection in the world, The Joel Magee Collection. It is going to be a very exciting year. We hope you continue to keep an eye on the incredible projects and collections we have in the works. Thank you for your support, your encouragement, and your enthusiasm. All of us at Van Eaton Galleries wish you a very happy holiday season and look forward to sharing the new year with you. -Mike Van Eaton 2

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS Walt and Roy Disney opened the Disney Bros. Studio in 1923 in a rented garage in Hollywood. From those humble beginnings, the company has grown into the entertainment giant we know today, creating increasingly beautiful works of animation, live action programming, theme parks, and much more. While Mickey Mouse shorts and features like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs brought the Studio critical and popular acclaim in its earliest years, it was merchandising pioneer Kay Kaymen that created a revenue stream through the licensing of Disney’s characters that would finance the Studio for years to come.

1. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Oversize Disney Studio Display. (Disney, 2006) A studio-created oversized photographic print that was displayed in the Walt Disney Studios to celebrate the 2006 return of the intellectual property rights for Oswald the Rabbit to Disney ownership. The large 40”x30” print is adhered to board and features a vintage newspaper ad from the late 1920s for a program of Walt Disney-created Oswald the Rabbit cartoons at the Criterion Theatre in Los Angeles (where Oswald premiered in 1927). The prop is in very good condition with minor wear at the edges and corners from use. $200-$400
2. Official Mickey Mouse Store Sign. (Disney, c.1930s) A printed paper logo sign from an “Official Mickey Mouse Store.” Started as a promotion for stores that carried Mickey Mouse Club merchandise, the earliest versions of these signs depicted Mickey wearing a MMC button. After the clubs were officially disbanded, the style offered here was issued to purveyors of Disney licensed Mickey Mouse products. Measuring 8.5”x8.5”, the piece is in fair condition with cracking, tape repair to the reverse, and upper right corner loss. Few of these issues are apparent when looking at the sign head-on, and it presents very well. $300-$500
3. Mickey Mouse School Supplies Promotional Paper Pad. (Disney, c.1930s) A promotional paper pad given as a premium to retailers of licensed Mickey Mouse school supplies. Each of the (23) tear-away pages features the slogan “Mickey Mouse School Supplies Sold here” and a pie-eyed Mickey image with an empty word bubble for jotting notes or writing in prices for a store display. Measuring 5.5”x8.5”, the pad is in generally very good condition with brown toning and creasing to some pages, and creasing to the backing board. $200-$400
4. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Cigarette Silk Patches. (Turmac, c.1930s) A pair of embroidered silk patches included in packs of Turmac cigarettes in the 1930s.

These early Mickey and Minnie Mouse designs remain some of the most sought after cigarette silks of the era. Each measures 5.5”x2.25” and both are in very good condition with minor spot staining. There is some paper residue on Mickey’s fabric backing. $100-$200

5. Mickey Mouse Annual Original Cover Painting. (Dean & Son, 1939) An original painting used as cover artwork for the popular Mickey Mouse Annual book series. Published by Dean & Son, this series contained comics and stories of Mickey and his friends, and offered some of the earliest Disney fans the opportunity to bring these characters and adventures into the comfort of their own homes. Hand-painted in acrylic on art board, this illustration features the final artwork from both the front cover and spine of the book. Various production notation can be seen along the white margins. The artwork was stamped “Sep 1939” near the top edge, however, it is likely the annual itself debuted in 1940. Measuring 13”x11.75”, the painting is in good condition with pin holes along the margin, small flecks of paint loss in the dark green paint near the bottom, and a thin 1” tear near Donald’s foot. Any kind of Disney book artwork from this era is difficult to find, but cover artwork that so beautifully depicts these three iconic characters is exceptionally rare. $4,000-$6,000

In the late 1920s, Clark saw the growing popularity of Mickey Mouse and realized the potential for Disneythemed dolls.

Today, original Charlotte Clark dolls are some of the most desirable vintage Disney collectibles. The doll consists of a velveteen stuffed body and tail feathers, corduroy sailor hat and tunic with mother of pearl buttons, cloth beak and legs with felt foot pads, and oil cloth pie eyes.

The now-infamous form letter details WDP’s employment policy regarding women, stating that, “Women do not do any of the creative work in the connection with preparing the cartoons for the screen, as that work is performed entirely by young men... The only work open to women consists of tracing the characters on clear celluloid sheets with India ink and filling the tracings on the reverse side with paint according to directions.” The letter carries the facsimile signature of “Mary Cleave.” The original Mickey Mouse WDP envelope and a copy of the original letter on carbon typing paper from the would-be applicant with a newspaper job listing is included.

85. Pair of Audio-Animatronic Abraham Lincoln Components. (WED, c.1960s-90s) Following the introduction of Audio-Animatronics at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, Walt Disney planned for the large-scale use of Audio-Animatronics in many future attractions. As a result, WED Imagineering’s MAPO division developed the casting system to take a “kit of parts” approach to producing Audio-Animatronic human figures, where individual parts could be swapped in or out to achieve a variety of functions and movements. This pair of authentic, MAPO-built Audio-Animatronic mechanical components from the WDI casting system includes the A-1 shoulder component, and the A-6 pelvis component. The A-6 pelvis component is of particular interest, as it was distinctly designed to enable figures to sway, bend, and rise from a sitting position. Such a striking display of mechanical technology would have amazed the crowds who first gazed upon Mr. Lincoln when he debuted for a few “great moments” at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. The A-6 pelvis component is a unique and pivotal aspect of one of the most important AudioAnimatronic movements of Disney Parks history. Additionally, the A-1 series of components have been pivotal in the creation of some of the most iconic attractions of the Disney Parks spanning from the 1960s to the 1990s, including Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, and many other attractions at the Disney Parks around the globe. Composed of steel, the mechanical components measure 4.5” and 10.5” long. The condition is very good, with very minor surface wear from handling and age. $1,000-$2,000

This set of (4) authentic, MAPO-built AudioAnimatronic mechanical components come from the WDI casting system of the A-1 Audio-Animatronic line, and were designed so that the parts could be interchanged as necessary, to achieve a variety of functions and movements. Additionally, the A-1 series of components have been pivotal in the creation of some of the most iconic attractions of the Disney Parks spanning from the 1960s to the 1990s, including Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, and many other attractions at the Disney Parks around the globe. Composed of steel, this set of (4) included a hip joint, a sideways cylinder mount, and a sideways pivoting component. Also included is an A-6 cylinder mount for forward and side bending.

The hotel has gone through several changes over the years, and as the park has expanded, newer, more modern facilities have been built. Still, through it all, the Disneyland Hotel remains an integral and iconic part of Disneyland history.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS The idea of a “haunted manor” attraction was discussed by Walt and his Imagineers long before Disneyland opened. As early as 1951, concept designs by Harper Goff for Main Street, U.S.A. showed an early rendition of what would become the Haunted Mansion. While the original plan for the Haunted Mansion was a walk-through attraction, changes in design, increased animatronic capabilities, and Imagineer ingenuity helped turn the attraction into the iconic Omnimover dark ride that we know it as today.
433. Haunted Mansion Early Ozalid Elevation Concept. (Disneyland, 1967) An exceedingly rare ozalid architectural concept elevation print of Walt Disney World’s Haunted Mansion by Imagineer Ted Rich. Dated September 7, 1967, this is the earliest known rendering of the Magic Kingdom’s version of the iconic, gothic horror-themed attraction that we have ever seen offered for public sale. The conception of the mansion depicted here differs significantly from the final version. The edifice appears to be constructed of wood instead of brick and the design seems to place an emphasis on exploration of the wider mansion grounds, with satellite sites such as gazebos and outbuildings occupied by ghostly figures. This is the first known indication of the Florida Haunted Mansion going in the direction of a Hudson Valley gothic manor. For his part, Ted Rich is an interesting figure in Imagineering history. Rich was a gifted designer, instrumental in the creation of New Orleans Square at Disneyland and Cinderella’s Castle at Walt Disney World, among other iconic projects, though he went uncredited in official literature of the time. Measuring 37.5”x12”, the blueline is in very good condition with brown toning at left and along the bottom edge. The artwork itself is largely unaffected. This is the first time Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion concept artwork of this vintage has ever been offered at auction, and represents a rare opportunity to own a lost chapter in the history of the wildly popular attraction. $600-$800

Pock sit, the tops of the busts, and 2’-3’ of clearance above them. Captioning at the far right and bottom of the page has been cut off in the replication process.

A VISIT TO DISNEYLAND In 1964, Walt Disney Productions began buying up large amounts of land near Orlando, Florida, hiding their purchases under shell corporations to avoid speculation. It wasn’t until late 1965 that Walt Disney’s plans were confirmed, and on November 15, 1965, Walt officially announced that he would be building a second park in Florida. It was here that he would build his “East Coast Disneyland,” and it was here that he envisioned his “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.” Although Walt did not live long enough to see his vision realized, Roy O. Disney postponed his retirement to helm the project, which began construction in 1967 and opened on October 1, 1971. At 107 Acres, Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is significantly larger than Disneyland, with plenty of room to expand.

There are times when a bid may not be recognized by the auctioneer; in that situation the recognized bid will be the winning bid regardless of whether or not the competing, but unrecognized bid, may have been higher. The auctioneer may in his absolute discretion re-open the bidding immediately after closing a lot to accept any bid in error not previously recognized. 20. Good Faith Bidding: Auctioneer reserves the right to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid. All bids must be made in good faith. A bid is not made in good faith, if it is made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a minor, or if made in excess of any applicable credit limit. 21. Lots: All lots will be sold in numerical order (unless a lot is re-offered) and will not be broken. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close of the entire auction, any lot. 22. Rescission of Sale of Lot: Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale of any lot in the event of non-payment, disputed ownership, clerical error, clerical omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason in the auctioneer’s sole and absolute discretion. 23. Lots Sold After Auction: In some cases lots will be sold after the auction. The Terms and Conditions apply to those sales as well. 24. Payment in Dollars: All sales are strictly for cash; and payment must be made in United States Dollars. 25. Amount of Payment: All deliveries, and transfers of title, are subject to the full payment of all monies due for the lot, including the payment of the separate Buyer's Premium. The Buyer's Premium shall be 18% of the highest successful recognized bid for inperson, phone, or absentee bidding; 21% for bids placed through internet platforms. Auctioneer retains the Buyer's Premium as its own property. 26. Payment Terms: Payment is due upon the closing of the auction sessions, or upon presentation of an invoice. If payment in full is not received within (7) calendar days after the close of the auction, or within (5) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later, the auctioneer may in its sole and absolute discretion, void the sale. If the sale is voided for non-payment the successful bidder shall still owe the auctioneer its fees. Sales tax will be collected from any successful bidder unless the appropriate certificate is on file with the auctioneer at least five business days before the first date set for the auction. If the successful bidder choses to send an “echeck”, electronic funds transfer, or ACH payment, and it does not clear, the bidder authorizes the auctioneer to use the credit card on file. If payment is not made the auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot to any under-bidder or in any future auction; any difference in the realized proceeds shall be the responsibility of the non-paying successful first bidder.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS 27. Pick Up, Shipping, and Insurance Concerns: It is the Buyer's responsibility to pick up the lot being purchased, or make arrangements at his own cost, for packing, shipping, and handling. It is the Buyer's duty and obligation to insure the lot from the date that title transfers to the successful Bidder, i.e., upon the receipt of full payment by the Auctioneer (the "TRANSFER DATE"). Risk of loss passes to the Buyer on the TRANSFER DATE. Delivery costs and insurance during delivery are the responsibility of the Buyer. Frames are sold as-is. Auctioneer is not responsible for damage to a framed item during shipment. Such breakage shall not be the basis for return for any lot. All items must be shipped, or will be held for pick-up at a time when deemed permissible by local regulations pertaining to the Covid-19 virus. 28. Interest: Any unpaid invoice will bear interest at the highest rate allowed by California law. 29. Attorney’s Fees: In the event that it in necessary for the auctioneer to employ an attorney the successful Bidder agrees to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. 30. Security Interest Granted: The successful Bidder grants a security interest in the lot being sold to secure the payment of the invoice. The successful bidder grants a possessory lien as well to the auctioneer. Auctioneer shall have the rights granted under Article 9 of the California Commercial Code including but not limited to the right of sale. 31. No Warranties: NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DESCRIPTION IN THE CATALOGUE OR ON THE DAY OF AUCTION. Descriptions are only being presented for the benefit of those bidders who have not had the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding and no description in the catalogue shall create any warranty. Color variations are to be expected and are not the basis for any return of any lot. Auctioneer is only selling the right, title, and interest of any lot that has been consigned to the Auctioneer by virtue of any consignment agreements. The Auctioneer disclaims any warranty of fitness or merchantability. 32. Disclaimer of Damages; Sole Remedies: Auctioneer disclaims any damages, consequential or otherwise. Auctioneer shall not be responsible for consequential damages, incidental damages, compensatory damages, or any other damages. Up to the date that the auctioneer pays the consignor (45 days after the close of the auction sessions), and in the event that Auctioneer cannot deliver a lot, or if it is established that the lot lacks title, or some other transfer or condition issue is claimed, the sole remedy of the Bidder up to a date six months after the close of the auction sessions shall be the rescission of the sale and the refund of any amount paid by the Buyer. After the consignor is paid by the auctioneer the sole remedy of the Buyer is against the consignor, and vice versa. 33. Statements are Opinions: In consideration of participation in the auction, and the placing of a bid, Bidder expressly releases auctioneer, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, outside experts, and attorneys the (”RELEASEES”) from any and all claims, causes of action, in law or in equity, direct or indirect, known or unknown that he/she/it may have with respect to the auction, the catalogue, the conduct of the auction, or the lots being purchased. By not complying with the terms of this Release, Bidder waives any and all claims against the RELEASEES. A bidder or buyer acknowledges that there is a risk that subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, one or more of them will discover facts or will discover, suffer, or incur claims and/or damages relating to the subject matter of this release, which were unknown or unanticipated at the time of the auction, which, if known on that date may have materially affected their respective decisions to give the herein release. Despite this knowledge and understanding, each bidder and buyer agrees that it is assuming the risk of such unknown and unanticipated facts and claims, and in connection herewith, each hereby expressly waives any and all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542, which section has been explained to and is understood by each party and which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” 34: Arbitration: By placing a bid in the auction, a Bidder agrees to the dispute resolution set forth herein. All disputes shall be arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles County, California. Costs shall be split equally among all parties. This replaces the right to go to court, including the right to a jury trial. 35. Prohibited Activities: Any agreement between consignors and bidders to sell by private sale any lot, or to effect a non-sale of an item at auction is prohibited and auctioneer reserves the right to collect from the bidder the Buyer’s Premium. 36. Special Notice: Auctioneer has in compliance with Title 2.95 of the California Civil Code, Section 1812.600 posted with the California Secretary of State a bond. The auction is being conducted in compliance with Section 2338 of the California Commercial Code and Section 535 of the California Penal Code. 37.

THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER. 38.
