John and Kathy have been collecting Disney items for over 20
years. Here are a few items from our Personal Collection!
We hope you enjoy them!
1964 Bayard Pluto France animated had just reconditioned. It works great! This piece has a lot of sentimental value to us. Kathy's family all pitched in and bought it for her for her birthday.
Pluto made by the Seiberling Latex Rubber Products Co. He is from the late 1930's to early 1940's. Painted face with great pie eyes. Marked underneath © Walt Disney. He stands 3 3/4" long. It is very common for the tall to be broken. We have the broken piece of his tall and will get it fixed. This piece is in the best shape I have seen.
1938 Porcelain Bisque Pluto Pup by Borgfeldt. He is 3 ½" sitting. This Pluto has an interesting story. Kathy saw him at a Deseret Industries thrift shop. They were going to hold a silent auction, so Kathy put a low bid on him. And sure enough we got him. He has Pluto the Pup molded on his side.
Pluto sketch on back of Howard Johnson’s menu drawn by and autographed by Ralph Kent 10/7/84. Another great story with this item. We had a good friend who moved to California to be an actor. And as most actors he ended up supporting himself by working at the bar located at the Howard Johnson's down the street from Disney Studios in Burbank. Many of the Disney artists that worked at the studio would come into the bar after work. Dan made friends with many of these artists. Through his discussions with Ralph Kent, it came up that Kathy was a big Pluto collector. When he heard this he sketched this Pluto on the back of a Howard Johnson's place mat. Needless to say, we were very excited to see it.
Pluto bank 7" looking over shoulder (Leeds) This is the only bank like this I have seen. It very much resembles the Leeds Pluto planter with Pluto pulling a cart. He looks over his shoulder in the same manner.
