If you could pick one item, what Disneyland vehicle or prop would you take home? Well, if you saved your money like Scrooge McDuck, then you might be fortunate enough to win a special part of Disneyland history!
“Disneyland: The First 65 Years” auction items will be on public exhibition from Saturday, July 25 to Aug. 14 at the Sherman Oaks gallery. It’s currently being held in Southern California, so Disneyland locals might want to check this out!
We’ve collected several of the most expensive Disneyland items in the auction to show what’s available.
Haunted Mansion Tombstone Prop
Estimate: $8,000-$12,000
The extremely rare 1969 original tombstone prop sat in the exterior queue area of the Haunted Mansion before being removed in the 1970s.
The 43-by-28-inch painted fiberglass tombstone pays respect to Phineas Pock, one of the five singing busts in the graveyard scene inside the attraction. Haunted Mansion is a beloved Disney attraction, so this would make a fantastic addition to a collector’s home.
Rocket Rods Loading Sign
Estimate: $16,000-$18,000
The original 19-by-39-inch double-sided metal sign reminded riders to wear their seat belts and other safety instructions.
The warning sign is an “incredible relic” of the short-lived 1998 “cult” Tomorrowland ride, according to the auction catalog.
PeopleMover or Monorail Attraction Poster
Estimate: $8,000-$10,000
The 54-by-36-inch hand silk-screened attraction poster with shimmering metallic grey paint bills the 1961 Disneyland Monorail as the “first in America.”
Got an extra $10,000 to spare? You can pick up an original 1967 PeopleMover attraction poster to go alongside the Monorail one for about the same price.
Space Mountain Attraction Vehicle
Estimate: $50,000-$60,000
The 10-foot-long Space Mountain ride vehicle is from the opening year of the Tomorrowland attraction.
Even though it’s a few decades old, the vehicle still has the original speakers and working audio. So you can still hear its original audio recordings!
Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough Concept Art
Estimate: $15,000-$20,000
A 10-by-20-inch gouache watercolor was created in 1957 as concept art for the walkthrough dioramas planned for the interior of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The signed painting was created by Eyvind Earle, a background artist for Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty” animated film.
Main Street U.S.A. Scale Model
Estimate: $15,000-$20,000
The 72-by-35-inch Z-scale 1/220th scale model was created by miniaturist artist Robert Olszewski.
Built between 2002 and 2012, the model comes with two Main Street Electrical Parade sets.
The price tag seems steep since most of these are rare and one of a kind items. But wouldn’t it be great to own a part of Disneyland history?
