1975 Walt Disney Studio Commissary Restaurant Menu
This is a very modern studio menu from 1975. It is different from all the other menus I've seen so far in that it has a center opening; very unusual. The art on the menu is of Mickey and Minnie in their pie-eyed personas as was very popular in the 1970s. Just check out that typeface on the cover too!
This is by far the most recent menu I have ever seen from the studio, and the only one to bear an actual date - April 1975.
The interior has a large section reserved for daily specials, which on this example is still intact. More retro character line art throughout.

1958 Walt Disney Studio Commissary Coffee Shop Menu
This is the last of the small sized (6x9) menus I have from the studio. This features the same cover art as was on the Counter Service full sized menu from earlier in the series, although the art is a little less saturated in color - Mickey in particular looks a little pale. This also uses the high gloss stock as we saw on the Temporary menu.
On this menu we see a return of the Fountain menu items on the back, and the interior art has some of the same elements as the counter service menu, just rearranged. This is the first menu to feature any kind of date code, on the back as part of the Lord Menu Co. logo, there is the numeric code 1-58, which I take to mean January 1958. The pricing also seems consistent with a 1950s menu.

Playthings Magazine - June 1937
A truly hideous color assaults the eyes on this issue of Playthings from June 1937, but a great image of Mickey!

Playthings Magazine - April 1937
This is the first issue that I've see that sports the updated logo, one that would last until 1952.

Playthings Magazine - September 1934
Another old one from 1934, but only a partial cover (sorry about that).

Playthings Magazine - January 1934
Time for a new series, the Playthings Magazine series. Playthings was and still is the preeminent magazine for the toy trade in the USA. And for decades, the cover was devoted to Walt Disney characters. I will document here the covers to all the Playthings magazines that I have been able to find over the last 15 years. I do not own any of these except for those that have Alice in Wonderland covers, all of these covers were taken from ebay listings I have observed since 1995. If any of you have scans of issues I am missing, I would greatly appreciate them.
This first issue is the earliest I have seen, January 1934. Pretty damn early for Mickey Mouse merchandise as well.

This is called a display plaque in both the German book and TOMART, probably used by retailers.

Disney Goebel DIS 078 - Mickey Mouse Hunter Seated
Three figures of Mickey as a hunter?! How about a little more variety here Goebel? I mean, there are dozens of characters you never used (Minnie, Daisy, Goofy, lots of villains), surely you could have picked something else other than a third Mickey.
