(Disney, 1940) This is the original artwork for the Donald Duck Choo Choo Pull Toy #450 manufactured by Fisher Price, and includes a final version of the produced toy. The train is comprised of a wooden base, wooden wheels, metal axles, cardboard and tin tube “engine,” a metal bell, a metal and wood bell-striker, and a wooden figure with Donald Duck graphic label. The original artwork is the portrait of Donald Duck as a train conductor that was reproduced on every Choo Choo Pull Toy #450 to come off the assembly line. Accomplished in gouache, the artwork measures 8.5”x6” on the 10”x8.5” Yankee Drawing board. The board is marked with hand notation for printing, and the reverse retains a Property of Walt Disney Productions ink stamp. The artwork is in very good condition, with the board exhibiting some browning from age. The toy measures 6.75”x9.5” and 3.75” deep and is in good condition. It exhibits some oxidation, paint loss, chips, and soiling.
