A 30-Year Old Treasure Found In The Cupboard! (Photo Essay)

While looking through the cupboards for my Pepe Le Pew drawing I found a few treasures. This essay will show you one of them. This was given to me many, many years ago from my grandmother. She's since passed, and it's naturally of more value to me because of the link to her.

Here's the front cover. The words Mickey Mouse and the year glow.


The entire calendar is made out of this thick heavy duty cardstock and is really durable. Nothing like those thin paper ones we have now!

Here's a notice inside the cover about the glow in the dark portion of the pictures. You can see the year it was printed in was 1976, so it's technically 31 years old! That's older than I am!


This is January's image. Mickey and Minnie are out on the town! The Marquee lights all glow here as well as the dots on the words Mickey Mouse in Mad Dog.


Here's February's image. The moon, the lights on the buildings, the lamps and the fire all glow.


Here's March! The lights in the building and spot lights all glow!


April! The large spotlight glows here.


May! The light string glows here.


June! The lights on the building, the moon, the lamp the clock and the moon on the sign all glow.


July! The stars, the firework and the moon all glow.


August! The windows, the words Hot Dog, Hamburger, Ice Cream and 5 cents all glow here!


September! The light from the projector glows here.

October! This one was always one of my favorites. The eyes in the masks, the skeleton, the pumpkin balloon faces all glow here.

November! The moon and all lights on the boat glow here.


December! I remember this being a favorite as well. The lights in the windows and all the candle glows glow here.

Each month has photos on the calendar part too. This is the page for December. They also list neat facts like 1937 Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs world Premiere. First Full length  animated musical feature. (This happened on December 21) :)

Each month also has a title. December's is Peace on Earth, Good Will to All.


Here's the back of the calendar. Simple, but cute. No, nothing here glows!


Thanks to Teresa W's Drawing group I found this hiding safely in the cupboard. It's now going in Gideon's room to be displayed as it should be! Thank you Teresa for being the reason I rediscovered this gem!
