My father-in-law just sold his house to some UNBELIEVEABLY nice people!
Closing was last Friday,
and today my husband came home with something they had found that
had fallen behind some bookshelves in his room. He actually made me
close my eyes and follow him into the kitchen!
It's a cel---not just any cel, but one which is autographed by Walt Disney
himself! The cel itself is matted, and on the mat it says (right side) Mickey
Mouse with a line drawn over to the left side where it says original, and
has a circle below the word original with the script letters WDP (Walt
Disney Productions???) All of this is I think handwritten, as is the larger To
Michael R. Ney All best wishes Walt Disney!
The cel itself is not from anything I recognize. It is Mickey, is semi-Mexican
garb. He is wearing a hat with small blue and yellow pom-poms handing
from the brim, a red sash, cowboy boots and is twirling a lasso. the
background is a shadow of him.
I CAN"T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not in the best of shape after 45 years or
so of being behind a bookcase, but
it's only the mat that's dirty. I'll actually probably pay to have this
professionally restored and framed! A cornerstone for a new collection,
perhaps!!
GUESS I'LL ADD THE LINK HERE

Take a look and give me guesses about what it might be from, PLEASE!
