Thanks for the info, but I did take it in to have it checked out, it is not a copy, and that was posted by my cousin. I mean if any of you are close to san bernardino ca. I would be glad to show it to you in person.

I don't know the value of this but one place that I talked to in Burbank said he would price this at between $2000 and $4000.
I really don't plan on selling this, I just wanted info and a somewhat value. And I'm still waiting for a reply from the disney museum.
But like I said in my other post I did take it to a dealer down the hill, He told me it was hand drawn. Thanks

Okay, I found your picture on Flickr and I recognize it as the same as one another user posted earlier this year - http://disneymemorabilia.com/forum/index.php/topic,2687.0.html.  Apparently the Studio printed several of these for some purpose.  It's a nice Disney WWII item, and I'd stand by my prior valuation at between $50-100.00.


Ok this is from the disney museum on this picture.

It looks original to me. What would you like to know? We have nothing like that in our collection so I don’t have any information at hand.
I can try and have someone else look at it, but please tell me your intentions.
Thank you,
Michael

When I compared the two photos and they were identical right down to the position of the signatures, I thought they were prints.  But even if its a one-of-a-kind, I don't think it's value would go much above a few hundred dollars.  It's a rarity in that it was from the Studio during WWII, but the artists aren't among the most well-known.  None of Walt's lead animators are included, and it obviously doesn't include any of the characters, which I would expect to limit it's appeal to collectors.  But its a special piece and I'm sure there are collectors who would want it.  I think it would probably do best in a good animation art auction, as opposed to eBay or some other quick-sale venue.  And if you can hold it until the economy improves a bit, so much the better.  Good luck!
