Rare Walt Disney Autograph On Empire State Building Brochure
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:501600 | Celebrity: Walt Disney |
| Original/Reproduction: Original | Modified Item: No |
I have re-listed my original Walt Disney autograph because the previous auction winner failed to send payment within the required time limit and hasn't responded to correspondence.
My family was sightseeing in New York City back in 1958. We had just toured the observation deck of the Empire State Building and parked alongside St. Patrick's Cathedral, when my mother spotted Walt Disney walking down the sidewalk with another man. She handed me one of the brochures that we... had just received at the observation deck; I ran over to Mr. Disney and asked him for his autograph. He quickly obliged, taking a pen from his suit coat pocket. As he signed the brochure, he asked me my name and where I was from. He then handed back the signed brochure to me, said goodbye and waved to my family. I quickly ran back to our car.
When I got there, my mother took a look at the signed brochure and said, "But where's Mr. Tiompkin's autograph?" I had no idea that the other gentleman was composer Dimitri Tiompkin; by then the two men were no longer in sight... Oh well - I was happy just to have Mr. Disney's signature!
The autographed brochure has been locked in a strong box for decades. I have decided to offer it for sale so that someone else can now enjoy it. Considering what other original Walt Disney autographs have been selling for recently, this one is a real bargain.
