After taking us on a Disney nostalgia time warp this summer, Van Eaton Galleries is back again with a whole new auction chock full of mementos, ephemera and memorabilia that will send fans of the Mouse reeling. Their latest exhibit and auction is called WALT DISNEY: THE MAN, THE STUDIO, AND THE PARKS.

The Sherman Oaks based auction house specializes in Disney memorabilia and animation, and is a recognized authority on all things Disney and they’re once again welcoming fans and collectors to get their own piece of Disney history. Highlights of this collection include early personal letters to and from Walt Disney, scrapbook drawings, pre-Technicolor film artifacts, theme park memorabilia, rare props, scripts, documents, costumes, and more.
