Disney Cels Just $1.25! - Art Corner Material

Only $1.25 per cel? Displayed in old bins that used to hold 33-1/3 LP records? Did that ever really happen? Well, here is the set I bought (circa 1955-1965?) : the Walt Disney "Originals" flyer, a Chip and Dale Cel on a hand painted background AND the Disney mailer that it was to be shipped in! I should add that this package was never mailed, so I can't look at the cancellation to determine the date. Sorry, but I don't have an image of the mailer. I think I remember Rob Richards saying that the Art Corner sold material from approximately 1955 to 1965. I'm afraid I don't have any information that would narrow the date down further...

You need to read this flyer to believe it!

What's amazing is that the cel that came with the order wasn't too bad! It wasn't a junk cel and the background was pretty good as well. There was no information as to the origin of the cel or the background, but that really wasn't important at the time. All you really wanted was to own the character! Mission Accomplished!


Ah, the good old days!
