Wonderful late-1950s ballpoint signature, “Walt Disney,” on an off-white 5 x 2.5 clipped slip. Framed to an overall size of 6.75 x 4.75. Scattered creases, toned tape remnants, and a missing upper left corner tip, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in full: “In 1958 my parents took me to Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It was our first time at the park. We entered Disneyland and were walking through Tomorrowland when I spotted Walt Disney walking with two other men in front of me. I was ten years old at the time. I ran after him and he put his arm out and hugged me. He continued to walk, my parents followed behind. After a few minutes I asked him if I could have his autograph. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper with his name on it. I thanked him and ran back to my parents who were just as thrilled as I was to see the real Walt Disney in person. I put the autograph in my autograph book and secured it with scotch tape. The autograph has been in the book for 57 years till recently. Meeting an Icon like Walt Disney was a moment even a ten year old would never forget.” Pre-certified Phil Sears.
