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 Collectibles
was founded in 1994 by Southern California author and media historian, Dave Mason. Soon after eBay's launch the following year, Saturday's Toys was among the first online specialists to strategize in embracing this rapidly developing technology. Having delivered over 15,000 coveted treasures since that time, Saturday's Toys is pleased to partner with researchers and collectors throughout the globe.
Today, online offerings of archival keepsakes are presented in celebration of the 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 represented by "Saturday's Toys." In that light we present our adopted motto (with a nod to the Sherman Brothers):
"Oh, let's go fly a kite!"
We are glad to combine shipping for multiple purchases in order to reduce costs whenever possible.  Simply let us know before processing payment for the items selected and we'll be glad to 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 your best value for shipping.
