A unique and highly collectible relic for the Disney fan, offered here is a 12" x 16" vintage placemat from the Disneyland hotel, boldly signed in blue ballpoint pen by the hotel's namesake, Walt Disney.
According to the consignor, the original owner's parents were staying at the hotel during a Disneyland getaway and spotted Disney walking by as they were eating at the hotel restaurant. A quick thinking father grabbed a place mat and pen and wisely ran down the hall to ask Disney for his autograph, with the offered place mat showcasing the result of his efforts.
A light vertical impression is present along the center of the mat, otherwise the piece is in very fine condition. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
