Item Description
8.5" tall award with 2.5" tall plastic base and attached 6" tall gold-painted cast metal statuette with soldered wire tail. Statuette is of classic 1940s style Mickey Mouse and is similar to Disney in-house awards of that time. Plastic base has brass nameplate with "Disneyland Big Band Festival - To Benny Goodman Gratefully - Walt Disney" text. "Walt Disney" name is facsimile of Walt's distinct signature. We believe this award was presented to legendary Big Band leader Goodman around the time of a 1961 Big Band performance at the Plaza Garden in Disneyland. Goodman enjoyed a long relationship with the Walt Disney Company, having contributed 2 musical sequences for the 1946 Disney animated musical feature "Make Mine Music." 1/8" chip to gold paint by Mickey's right eye, but otherwise, statuette is Exc. Brass nameplate shows some tarnish streaks, but display remains Exc. overall.
