Item Description
The first Disney Studio Christmas card was printed in 1930 and there is only one known example of that card. This is the second card from 1931 and itself is very rare, this is the first example we have ever offered in our 41 years. 5x7.5" on textured paper. Front reads "Yoo Hoo!" with small image of snow-covered house. Card opens to reveal text "A Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year" with images of holly leaves and berries around a candle along with a superb full-color, tipped-in paper sheet. This is 4x5.5" and depicts a nighttime Christmas caroling scene featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Horace and Clarabelle. Directly below this is printed name of "Carolyn Kay Shafer" who was Walt's confidential secretary (see item #1425). Card was printed with her name for her to send to those people on her personal Christmas card list. Very minor handling wear, lower right corners have a few exceedingly minor creases and tiny 1/8" tear. However, card remains totally bright and clean, VF while tipped-in sheet is Exc. A special opportunity to not only obtain a very rare Studio card, but also one with a direct link with Walt Disney.
