A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
About 35 years ago I purchased these 7 copper molds from a gentleman that said his dad used to work at Disneyland in the late 50’s and 60’s.  They are heavy copper
molds, each stamped DISNEY and are
approximately 6 to 10 inches square.  I was told that they were used to create plaster heads or faces for Disney
characters, that were later painted with expressions and placed throughput the Disneyland theme park or in special attractions.
I was told there was a huge model and bust department in the Disney
Imagineering department. There were permanent molds created and reused to create many heads of characters around the park.  Many of the faces you see in the Pirates ride are the same faces you see in the Haunted Mansion, but with different facial hair and wigs.  Down the road the process was changed and these molds were discarded.
I did try to identify each with Disney
characters, but not sure
I identified them all correctly.
Mickey
Pinocchio
Figaro, Geppetto’s cat from Pinocchio
Goofy
King Louie
Thumper in Bambi
Winnie The Pooh
These are an incredible part of Disney (behind the scenes) creations and understandably irreplaceable.
I purchased all seven (7) molds that the gentleman offered and are offering all of them here in one lot. These have been tucked away and have not seen the light of day for 35 years.
I have no idea what they may be worth.......make me an offer.
