Lot of Vintage Walt Disney Books From 1930s Hits Auction

One of the great joys of physical media is its enabling stories and memories to be passed down from generation to generation. Many of these generational memories discovered in childhood come from stories released by Disney, and not just the iconic Walt Disney films. Disney has shaped memories for generations with their books, and now you can bring home an incredible collection of vintage Disney books that span the 1930s and 1940s. Take a look at this unique listing over at Heritage Auctions with the following pictures.

This unique lot has some recognizable characters that are still part of Disney's releases in modern times, with Donald Dunk and Pluto. However, these books also have treasures of the past preserved for you to share with the younger generation through these unique tales.

The stunning lot continues with a special bank.

It measures 3" x 4.25" x 1".

The pieces are listed in various conditions, from Good to Very Good.
