For collectors of animation, toys and pop culture, the home contains an unusual assortment of Disney material, Flintstones collectibles, colorful toucan character pieces, vintage toys, prototype and sample pieces, character artwork, design-related material and vintage Disneyland publications. We also uncovered an impressive group of toy-industry catalogs and reference materials, including dealer and distributor catalogs that were created for toy fairs, retailers and industry professionals rather than the general public. Brands and subjects represented throughout the collection include Disney, Mattel, Barbie, Hasbro, Rainbow Brite and other familiar characters and toy lines.
