SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Feb. 28 (UPI) -- Nearly 1,000 pieces of Disney memorabilia that date back to the park's early days, from ashtrays used in Disney hotels to costumes and uniforms worn by employees and performers, is up for grabs in an auction that begins Saturday.
The collection, called The Story of Disneyland, includes dozens of costumes, printed items such as posters, press kits and internal-planning documents and other assorted pieces. All of the items come from one collector who lives in southern California and works in the animation industry, Van Eaton Galleries owner Mike Van Eaton said.
