Disneyland 1955 Brochure

Back in the summer of 2000 I was at an estate sale in a town near my house and found a pile of travel related postcards and the like.  The reason I bought it though was for the Disneyland stuff.  This family had been planning a trip to Disneyland (based on one package in the pile of stuff) and ended up going in 1956.



I did not know at the time there was such a thing as the Nickel Tour book, that people collected Disneyland postcards, or that there were people who would be rather interested in these items.  Aside from the postcards in the lot (among which there were some gems), the most unique thing was a pre-opening day brochure for Disneyland.  I sold this on eBay in 2000...and have never seen one like it since.  It came in an envelope full of other brochures for tourist attractions in L.A. labeled "SIGHT SEEING DATA assembled for _____________ by THE ALL YEAR CLUB, FREE VISITOR'S BUREAU."  I still have everything else in that envelope...kind of wish I had kept the Disneyland brochure though.
