DISNEY 1935 DAIRY PROMOTIONAL "MICKEY MOUSE MAGAZINE" MARCH, VOL.II NO. 5.
THIS PROMOTIONAL GIVE-AWAY COMIC BOOK WAS SPONSORED BY HIGHLAND DAIRY FARMS, CO. AND HAS THEIR ADVERTISING COPY PRINTED ON THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS.
THE MAGAZINE MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 7 1/4" X 5 1/4" AND CONSISTS OF 15 PAGES.
THE BOOKLET WAS NEVER PUT THROUGH THE FINAL
SADDLE-STITCHING(STAPLING)
BINDING PROCESS.
THE BOOKLET DID GO THROUGH A PRE-BINDING PROCESS WHERE 2 NOTCHED BITES WERE PUT IN PLACE HOLDING THE BOOKLET TOGETHER TEMPORARILY UNTIL IT WENT THROUGH THE EVENTUAL SADDLE STITCHING(STAPLING) BINDING PROCESS.
NOT ONLY DID THE NOTCHING TEMPORARILY HOLD THE BOOKLET IN POSITION BUT ALSO POINTS OUT EXACTLY WHERE THE SADDLE STITCHING OPERATOR WOULD SET UP HIS MACHINE FOR PLACING THE 2 STAPLES IF IT WERE TO EVER BE PERMANENTLY BOUND(THIS MAGAZINE NEVER WENT TO THIS STAGE AND WAS PULLED FROM THE LINE-UP).
THE MAGAZINE CAME FROM A SOURCE EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE VINTAGE DISNEY ARCHIVES AND IS GUARANTEED TO BE ORIGINAL. HE DID NOT SHARE WITH ME THE EXACT PROVENANCE OF HOW HE CAME BY A SMALL COLLECTION OF THE MAGAZINES. HE LIKELY DESIRED TO KEEP THAT INFORMATION PROPRIETARY.
THE BOOKLET WAS MOST LIKELY ONE OF A FEW THAT WERE HELD BACK AT DISNEY AND FILED AS PRESS SAMPLES WHEN THE ORIGINALS WERE PRINTED IN 1935.
THE SOURCE THAT I REFER TO ABOVE ALSO SUGGESTED TO ME THAT A COLLECTION OF THESE UNCIRCULATED MAGAZINES MAY VERY WELL HAVE BEEN STORED IN SPECIAL BINDERS IN BULK FOR SAFE STORAGE IN SOME DISNEY ARCHIVE-TYPE LIBRARY NEAR OR WITHIN DISNEYLAND.
THERE ARE SOME EXTRA STRESS HOLES IN THE SPINE THAT MAY VERY WELL HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A BINDER-TYPE GRIP.
THERE IS ALSO AN APPROXIMATE 1 3/4"FRONT AND BACK COVER ONLY SPINE SEPARATION DEVELOPED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE(THE INTERNAL PAGES ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE PARTIAL SEPARATION).
IF NOT FOR THESE ISSUES, I WOULD GRADE THIS BOOKLET AS NEAR MINT.
WHEN THE ARCHIVE FILES WERE TRIMMED DOWN IN SIZE TO REDUCE STORAGE SPACE TAKEN UP, EXTRAS WERE RELEASED TO MEGA COLLECTORS WITH CLOSE TIES TO DISNEY AS MENTIONED ABOVE(THIS CLAIM IS NOT BACKED UP WITH ANY SOLID PROVENANCE EXCEPT THAT OF THE WORDS FROM A PERSON THAT I TALKED WITH CLOSE TO THE ARCHIVE WORLD AT DISNEY).
I HAVE ENCLOSED PHOTOS OF ALL THE INTERNAL PAGES ALONG WITH THE FRONT AND BACK COVER SO THAT YOU CAN BEST DETERMINE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THIS WONDERFUL COLLECTIBLE MAGAZINE FOR YOURSELF FROM THE SAME.
A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS............
