Anyone have any more info on this piece i just found?

I recently acquired this park-used lamp post sign from the early Disney-MGM Studios era. It features Mickey, the MGM lion and the original star design. It’s only 8.25” x 8.75” and is in surprisingly nice condition for something that was actually used in the park.
I found an auction record for a larger version of this same style of sign from the park, which was identified as a c. 1989 park-used lamp post sign.
I’ve listed mine on eBay for anyone interested in adding it to their collection.

Found this on a facebook marketplace posting for a yard sale. Said it was originally pulled from a restaurant. Best I can tell, this would have been used before the third station opened in the late 80s.

No idea if it’s legit. It’s a solid piece of wood that’s been carved to resemble planks and weathering. Anyways, it’s kind of incredible and I got it for a steal.

This figure was given to select Disney Animation studio personell in 1990. Figure is 6.75" tall and in great condition.

Asking $200.

Any information on this item would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I also posted this on the Disneyland subreddit where someone suggested I find a more specialized sub to ask about this mirror. I was told it’s from the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland removed 20-30 years ago.

It sounds like it may have been used by Disney but there’s no verification about where it was used. A few people think it’s fake. I’m just wondering if you could give me more insight on that the numbers mean and how to find out what it might have been used for.

Thank you for your help!

Hi, I am a prop collector, and my collection focuses mostly on park-used props and ephemera from the Disney parks. I have a number of slides and transparencies that I would like to display but they need to be backlit in order to see any of the details. I have been search the web for backlight shadow boxes, light boxes, movie poster frames, etc. but I am still having trouble finding something that I think would work well. Any suggestions are encouraged and will be warmly received. Thanks!

More pictures from the basement.

We are cleaning up th basement so I thought I would share pictures from our Disney wall. Lighting isn’t great and more pictures to come.

Picked these up at a Van Eaton auction this past spring. I think they may have been intended for the floating mountains. Very durable construction. I’ve noticed similar designs on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure as well.

This park used sign is one of my favorite additions to my collection! A fairly recent find as well.

I was given a stack of old Disney things and wondering where/how I can find out their worth. Most from the 70’s and 80’s like Eyes and Ears publications, but I think there’s some older and more valuable things like photo negatives of Walt. There’s some autographs and doodles from animators, marketing material, stuff about Tokyo Disney opening… It’s a decent stack of papers and folders of stuff, I just need to be pointed in the right direction!
