(Disneyland, c.1950s) A very rare paper souvenir hat from Disneyland. This early park souvenir features an organ grinder monkey on the top with strings to pull that move the arms up and down. In the first few years of the park, an organ grinder and his trained monkey would frequently perform for park guests in the Central Plaza. The hat is very delicate, and few examples of this unique souvenir have survived. Measuring 8" tall and 7" wide, the hat is in fair condition with a chipped piece in the mouth, and some discoloration to the paper from age.
