Rare Disney 1934 1st Mickey Mouse Merchandise 76 Page Kay Kamen Catalogue

RARE DISNEY 1934 1ST "MICKEY MOUSE MERCHANDISE" 76 PAGE KAY KAMEN CATALOGUE. DISNEY 1934 THE FIRST VERSION "MICKEY MOUSE MERCHANDISE" SADDLE STITCHED CATALOGUE. THIS EXAMPLE IS GUARANTEED TO BE A 100% ACTUAL 1934 EXAMPLE COVER TO COVER PLUS ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES.

THERE WAS A REPRINT DONE IN THE 1970s FOR THE 1935 CATALOGUE AND THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE. I BELIEVE MOST SELLERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY HAVE WHEN LISTING. SOME SELLERS CHANGE THEIR LISTING AND SOME DON'T. THERE IS A SOLID "TELL" ON THE REPRINT VERSION THAT CAN EASILY VERIFY THAT IT IS ONE OF THE SAME. I OWN EXAMPLES OF ALL 3 CATALOGS AT THIS TIME.

THE EXCLUSIVE PUBLISHER AND DISTRIBUTOR OF THE CATALOGUE CONTENT OFFERINGS WAS KAY KAMEN. THE BOOK MEASURES 9" X 12". ALL INTERNAL PAGES AND COVERS WERE PRINTED ON NICE QUALITY "GLOSSY" PAPER STOCK. THE INTERNAL PAGES ARE IN.

I SEE NO EVIDENCE THAT THE PAGES WERE TURNED VERY MANY TIMES AT ALL. I DID, CAREFULLY, EXAMINE EACH PAGE BEFORE OFFERING MY ABOVE PROVENANCE FINDINGS.

ALL INTERNAL PAGES ARE STILL SOLIDLY BOUND AT THE SPINE(ONLY 2 STAPLES HOLDS ALL 76 PAGES AND COVERS IN PLACE). THE COVER SET IS IN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH THE FOLLOWING CONSIDERATIONS: 1 LOOSE FROM THE STAPLED BINDING(COMMON AS THESE BOOKLETS WERE MOST LIKELY STORED FOR MANY DECADES AND MOST LIKELY MOVED AROUND QUITE A BIT OVER THE YEARS). 2 THE FRONT AND BACK COVER HAVE SEPARATED FROM THE BOTTOM UP BY ABOUT 7 1/4" OUT OF THE TOTAL LENGTH OF 12" 3 SUBTLE BENDS TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE TOP COVER THIS HISTORIC FIRST CATALOGUE HAS TEXT INSIDE FRONT COVER INCLUDING: "ACTING UPON INNUMERAL REQUESTS FROM RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS THROUGHOUT THE NATION, WE PREPARED THIS MERCHANDISE CATALOGUE TO PRESENT A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF THE VARIETY AND NATURE OF THE MICKEY MOUSE AND OTHER WALT DISNEY CHARACTER MERCHANDISE NOW ON THE MARKET". PLEASE USE MY PROVIDED PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE BEST TOOL TO USE IN DETERMINING THE QUALITY OF THIS WONDERFUL CATALOGUE SET FOR YOURSELF. A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS............
