Disney Collectibles Worth your Attention

Everybody has their favorite Disney collectibles, however, you don’t want to overlook what these three have to offer:

1. Animation Art. Anything related to Disney animation art typically holds a high value. For instance, celluloid sheets were first made available in 1937. In the 1950’s, these were sold at Disneyland for as cheap as $1.25. Over the years, many of these have sold for four figures. During the 1980’s, a full cel set-up sold at auction for six figures.

2. Vernon Kilns Ceramics. From 1940 to 1942, Vernon Potteries was licensed to produce Disney dinnerware and other specialty items. This led to the release of a variety of pieces, many of which were based on the animated films Dumbo, Fantasia, and The Reluctant Dragon.

Thanks to limited numbers and high production costs, these pieces are often sold in today’s day and age for $1,000 or more.

3. Disneykins. Sold by Louis Marx & Company from 1955 to 1980, these hand painted figures were originally sold for as cheap as 15 cents each. The value of each Disneykin depends on the piece itself, including the condition and date of production.

If Disney collectibles are on your mind, one or more of these may be just what you are looking for. You never know when you are going to come across a piece that could take your collection to the next level. Do yourself a favor and visit a few estate sales this upcoming weekend.
