Vintage Disneyland photos collected at yard-sales
The "Stuff from the Park" blog collects vintage photos of Disneyland discovered at yard-sales and flea-markets, including some amazing rare shots of the Park's construction phase (also noteworthy are some photos of county fairs and other amusements).Link (via The Disney Blog)I will start off with this image of a ballon seller posing in front of King Arthurs carousel in Fantasyland. Image is an original slide with the date of 7-55 written on the back. Great posed shot with the wild balloons that are pre-Mickey Mouse design. I love the sunglasses and the circle skirt. This balloon seller was definitely prior to Disney actually hiring and training employees. He looks like one very scary clown!
