Original car from “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride” at Disneyland (Anaheim, Calif), in use from 1955-1997
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad was one of the best of the Disney post-war animated compilations. Released in 1949, it combined the stories of those “two fabulous characters” Ichabod Crane from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and, from The Wind in the Willows and J. Thaddeus Toad. A few years later, as Walt Disney looked to his animated fantasies as themes for Fantasyland, the unhinged and adventurous Mr. Toad must have seemed a natural for one of the “dark,” or indoor rides. As Basil Rathbone noted in the film’s narration, Toad as “a disturbing factor, a reckless adventurer, having a positive mania for fads while never counting the cost”… characteristics which lent themselves to an exciting, fanciful ride at Disneyland. Within Walt Disney’s new theme park experiment, Fantasyland was the area most familiar to visitors in 1955, while the themes of the other lands were more general and their attractions required some introduction. Once the guests ventured up Main Street and crossed the castle drawbridge, their attention was drawn to Disneyland’s original three dark rides, Peter Pan, Snow White and Mr. Toad. The Toad ride was first considered as a form of rollercoaster, with the cars following a downhill track towards obstacles (such as parked cars), which would move out of the way at the last minute. Disney ultimately decided that the ride would not be appropriate for small children and the elderly, and it was toned down. Disney art director Bill Martin designed the ride to carry the original themes of the film. “Viewing the film was part of the design process,” he later recalled. “I made the track layout to start with, but we went through storyboards galore. Since the point was to convert Walt’s cartoon films to rides in Fantasyland, those dark rides were developed from the original 4 x 8 storyboards and concept sketches made for the animated films.” The most art-intensive of the three original dark rides was Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. It was designed to last 1 minute and 38 seconds, a pace to accommodate nearly 700 people an hour. There were a total of twelve original Toad cars, with nine on line (entering Toad Hall every eleven seconds) and three held in reserve. These cars were the same ones in use for over forty years. The original cars were named individually as Mr. Toad, MacBadger, Mole and Ratty, with two each of Toady, Cyril, Winky and Weasel. Arrow Development built them with two hundred pounds of fiberglass and sheet metal, and was some of the first equipment delivered for the new park. When Disneyland decided to change the original two-seater cars to four-seater cars (which they were then using at Disneyworld in Orlando), the late Leon Janzen, who along with his brother Jack wrote the Disneyland fanzine E-Ticket, inquired about purchasing one of the old cars. The original designer of the Disneyland ride cars, Bob Gurr, reserved the number 3 and 4 cars for himself and the Janzens. After acquiring them from the park, he took the cars back to his shop and cleaned them, polishing the chrome and sealing it against future oxidation. He also installed a pivot wheel under the front part of each car for ease of movement around his shop. Bob then transferred ownership of Ratty, the #3 car, to Leon and Jack. Offered here is this original #3 car, the red and black carriage named “Ratty,” which is emblazoned in red letters on the front. As mentioned above, the car has undergone some minor restoration – cleaning, primarily, with the fabrication of a few new parts to replace those that were worn or broken. Other than a few minor scrapes and two bulges in the red vinyl fabric of the seat (all of which can easily be repaired), the car is in exceptional condition. This car comes with a copy of the original “Disneyland Resort Material Clearance” receipt dated June 18, 1997 listing the #3 and #4 cars, noting the sale has been approved by Earnie Baily and Marty Sklar at Walt Disney Imagineering. Just beneath, a handwritten note documents the transfer of #3 Ratty to Jack and Leon Janzen, which has been signed by Bob Gurr. In addition, the car is accompanied with a signed letter of provenance from Leon Janzen’s wife, discussing the history of the car and how it came into her husband’s possession. This may be the only opportunity a collector may ever have to acquire such an important part of vintage Disneyland—an actual full-size car used on one of its most popular attractions, ridden and enjoyed by thousands. More than just a fantastic original artifact, this car from Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride represents the pleasant return of a warm childhood memory—a memory shared by countless numbers of children since the 1950s.

Rare and Important 1953 DISNEYLAND PROSPECTUS
(Walt Disney, 1953) Rare original document drafted by Walt Disney and artist Herb Ryman to give words and images to Walt's idea of a family fun attraction. This complete document in a folder is one of 3 supposedly produced personally by Disney and Ryman for Walt to take to New York to find a partner to invest $5 million to finance the building of Disneyland. He left these 3 documents with 3 bankers in New York and left without an investor. This document was discovered at an estate sale on Long Island in New York in the early 1980s and has been in the same owner's hands since 1984 (collectibles expert and appraiser Gary Sohmers) who has extensively researched it, to determine its rarity and importance. It has been viewed by Dave Smith of the Walt Disney Archives and deemed authentic. The document includes: an outer 9" x 12" folder with tabs to hold pages featuring what appears to be rub on lettering "DISNEYLAND". Inside the folder are 9 typed pages describing Walt's planned park with descriptions of the different "lands,” including some that never came to fruition such as "Lilliputian Land" and "Happy Holiday Land." The first Map inside the front cover is a large 24" x 36" stat, hand colored by Herb Ryman in colored pencils featuring a birds-eye view of the proposed park. The second Map is a 12" x 18" stat of an architectural rendering of the proposed park showing an advanced stage of planning for the acreage that was purchased in Anaheim. The typed pages include quotes from Walt that have been referenced about the proposed park ever since. One page features only "Walt Disney - sometime - in 1955 will present to the people of the world - and children of all ages - a new experience in entertainment. In these pages is proffered a glimpse into this great adventure - a preview of what the visitor will experience – Disneyland." This is an extremely rare document in the history of Walt Disney and has never been reproduced in whole or in part. Although several sources on the Internet reference the document in research and company history, this is the only copy known to still exist.

Walt Disney autograph from Squaw Valley Winter Olympics (1960)
Original one-page autograph and Dedication by Walt Disney that hung in his house in Squaw Valley. Disney was named the Chairman of Pageantry for the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, and helped craft the plans for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. In Addition Walt and his team were heavily involved in the planning of other aspects of the Squaw Valley Olympics. The site for the Games was so remote that it was the first Olympics ever to lodge athletes in an Olympic Village. Disney and his friends like Art Linkletter made sure there was a constant stream of entertainment and entertainers on hand to stage nightly productions for the athletes. Disney’s artists also contributed, with John Hench designing a series of snow sculptures for the venue and even the Olympic torch itself. Disney had a chalet built at Squaw Valley for his frequent visits and stays at the Olympics. When he vacated the chalet for the final time, he left this note, which hung framed in the chalet until now. Inscribed on 9 in. x 7 ½ in. paper—“To The Picturesque House In Squaw Valley With Pleasant Memories—Walt Disney”—a very rare and unique autograph. Photo of the Chalet included.

Walt Disney’s first professional motion picture camera
This Universal (Burke & James) 35mm Model A hand-crank motion picture camera (serial number 2388) measures approx. 11 ¼ in. x 12 in. x 4 ¾ in. and is built with a black wooden housing with heavy gauge aluminum hinged doors on both sides featuring an engine turned finish. The left door exhibits "Arabian Nights Cartoons Rudy-Max-Hugh” hand-painted in black. The three fledgling animators, Rudolf Ising, Carmen “Max” Maxwell and Hugh Harman worked at Walt Disney’s first animation company, Laugh-O-Gram Films, Inc. based in Kansas City. Laugh-O-Gram was started by Disney in 1922 and produced a series of fairy tale cartoons including Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Cinderella and, in the spring of 1923, the Alice’s Wonderland series which combined live action and animation. With money raised from stock, the company purchased equipment including a used Universal camera. During the declining months the company’s Universal camera was used by Walt Disney and Red Lyon to shoot news for Pathé and Universal newsreels. The company faced mounting debt and enlisted new investors and loans. Fred Schmeltz, who owned a hardware store, secured his loans with a chattel mortgage and on paper became the owner of all the company’s equipment. In 1923 Disney used $40 to move to California. Bankruptcy proceedings for Laugh-O-Gram were instituted in October 1923. In the meantime, Ising, Maxwell and Harman, still smitten by the animation bug, decided to see whether they could succeed where Laugh-O-Gram had failed. According to authors Russell Merritt and J.B. Kaufman in their 1992 book entitled Walt in Wonderland: The Silent Films of Walt Disney, “Fred Schmeltz was now the legal owner of the Laugh-O-Gram equipment, and Harman, Ising and Maxwell approached him early in the fall of 1923 and arranged to buy some of it. Armed with the Universal camera and its stand, two animating booths, and miscellaneous other equipment from the failed company, they tentatively launched a studio of their own under the name ‘Arabian Nights.’ Unfortunately, Arabian Nights Cartoons did not fare any better than Laugh-O-Gram, and in late 1924 Disney invited Harman and Ising to California to join him once again. Copies of the original Laugh-O-Gram bankruptcy documents obtained through the National Archives and Records Administration are included with the lot. Among the numerous pages, is a listing of assets purchased from Laugh-O-Gram by Rudolph Ising, Hugh Harman and Carman G. [“Max”] Maxwell: “…two animating booths, one punch, one camera and stand, one re-wind table, one copy-o-graph, one inking table, one steel cabinet, two chairs…” The camera is in working order and was discovered missing the hand crank and front metal panel which have been faithfully recreated. This Universal camera remains as the first professional movie camera owned by Walt Disney to produce animation. The fact that it was also used by Rudy Ising, Hugh Harman and Max Maxwell is an added bonus since they later formed the core team at Warner Bros. animation studio.

The most important copy of Disney’s Snow White book in existence
The movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, premiered on December 21, 1937 at the Cathay Circle Theater in Hollywood; at the end of the showing, the audience, packed with celebrities, rose to its feet and cheered. Bringing it to the screen had not been easy. It began in 1934, when Disney assembled a group of animators and took them through his ideas about how to make Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs into a movie. From 1934 on, nearly 750 artists were employed at one time or another on the film, including many of the best and brightest who ever worked in the genre. Walt originally intended to spend up to half a million dollars on the project. In the end, he spent more than $1.5 million. Although the studio had had some success with a variety of animated short subjects, spending at this rate quickly caused Walt to run out of money, and he and Roy Disney had to leave their former bankers and get continued financing from the Bank of America, whom Disney courted constantly as the overruns piled up. Fortunately for Disney, the premier of the movie received virtually unanimous rave reviews, and it became an instant hit. Nevertheless, $1.5 million was a lot of money to make up, especially when children were being admitted to the showings for ten cents each. Disney had recently changed distribution companies, signing up with RKO. In addition to domestic distribution of the picture, RKO had a significant presence in Europe, and Walt was eager to take advantage of this additional market. RKO Radio Pictures held its first International Sales Convention on September 5th and 6th, 1938, at the Hotel George V in Paris. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the featured film at the meeting. There were 24 distributors (dubbed The European Foreign Legion) from across Europe invited to the Convention. These distributors were shown the movie and the promotional materials at a two-day business meeting which featured lunches sponsored by Disney, and in the weeks following the Convention, the distributors and RKO worked out individual distribution contracts. As part of his promotion for the affair, Disney had copies of the Disney book, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, published by Harper and Brothers in 1937, brought to the Disney studios where he and 51 of the principal creators of the film signed copies to be given as gifts to the prospective distributors. Disney signed boldly at the bottom of the title page and instructed the animators to sign on the title page and on the front flyleaf. We have examined the three copies known to exist from this group (the other two currently in private collections), and each signature is placed in the same location on each copy, indicating that the signing was carefully orchestrated. The group of signers is a remarkable collection. It contains 51 of the 64 people officially credited on the movie, and includes six of the nine men later referred to by Disney as the "nine old men". These six are Les Clark, Milt Kahl, Ward Kimball, Eric Lawson, Woolie Reitherman and Frank Thomas. In addition, it includes character designers Albert Hurter and Joe Grant, art directors Charles Phillippi, Terrell Stapp, McLaren Stewart, Harold Miles, Gustav Tenggren, Ken Anderson, Kendall O'Connor, and Hazel Sewell and supervising animators Ham Luske and Vladimir Tytla as well as a continuing who’s who of Disney animators. Included with the book is the original letter written by the European RKO representative welcoming one of the attendees. This man, Otto Sonnenfeld, was the RKO distributor for Czechoslovakia, and he was Jewish. When he returned to Nazi-dominated Czechoslovakia, the distribution contract he secured for Snow White allowed him to leave his homeland and gain entry to British-controlled Palestine with a document known as a capitalist certificate, recognizing him as the RKO Pictures distributor for Palestine. In later years, Mr. Sonnenfeld and his wife credited the RKO convention and the success of Snow White with saving their lives. It is believed that most of these special copies of the book that went to Paris never left Europe and were destroyed during the war. Also included with the book are the business agenda for the convention and the menu for the Disney-sponsored dinner following the meetings. In all, the book and the attendant materials make up a fascinating and truly rare piece of Disney history. Because of its provenance and its importance in the Disney story, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the most significant Disney book available to the collector.
