The Object Acquisition Project: A Series

Below is the outside of a vintage Disneyland fold-out postcard folder, sent to Miss Marilyn Gibler of Lombard, IL in August of 1956. Miss Gibler undoubtedly reacted with joy (and maybe a little jealousy) as she opened the piece and saw brightly colored photos of attractions such as the Pirate Ship and the Astro-Jets. It was the first scan on my new HP Scanjet 4600. I've never had my own scanner before, and this is one gorgeous, elegant piece of machinery that will get tons of use. It's model-thin and can be stored vertically on a bookshelf.
Speaking of vintage Disneyana, I just won two eBay auctions - a Disneyland Vacationland magazine from 1967 and a lot of old Disneyland Hotel paper ephemera. Very cool, and surprising. I hardly ever win anything on eBay.
