Disneyland 1956 PHOTO 8"x10" Tom Sawyer Island Suspension Bridge Walt Disney
Historic Disneyland Auctions by Saturday's Toys presents...
a vintage photograph from the opening weeks of Tom Sawyer Island at Disneyland... circa June 1956.
8" x 10"; with red grease pencil crop marks as initially used for publication of the photo (future use of photo would likely be cropped anyway to eliminate excess view of sky).  Shows three youngsters crossing the early version of the suspension bridge with Fort Wilderness in the background.  The landscaping is pictured soon after planting; without the dense foliage that would cover the island in later years.
The bridge spanned the watery cove on the eastern edge of the island... between Injun Joe's Cave and the pathway to Teeter Totter Rock.  A Pontoon Bridge (barrels) can be faintly seen in the background in a somewhat obstructed view.

Saturday’s Toys and Disneyana Auctions
was founded in 1994 by Southern California author and Disney historian, Dave Mason. Soon after eBay's launch the following year, Saturday's Toys was among the first Disneyana specialists to strategize in embracing this rapidly developing technology. Having delivered over 10,000 coveted Disney treasures since then, Saturday's Toys is pleased to partner with researchers, collectors and friends throughout the world with a shared interest in the preservation of authentic and accurate Disney history.
Today, online offerings of archival Disneyana keepsakes are presented in celebration of the extended times that allow for family, friends and neighbors to join in memorable gatherings that nurture the strong connections that bind a community together. These treasures are affectionately known as "Saturday's Toys." In that light we present our adopted motto (with a tip of the cap to the Sherman Brothers):
"Oh, let's go fly a kite!"
We are glad to combine shipping to reduce costs whenever possible.  Simply let us know before processing payment for the items selected and we'll revise and forward a final invoice to reflect the combined shipping price.
This usually works most effectively when combining flat paper items (postcards, newsletters, ephemera, etc.) but we'll do our best to make any combined purchase provide the best value for shipping.
Let us know if you have questions!
