This handle-less cup, 1½" high, shows DLS. The DLS scene is surprising in that the donkey is moving left in the left half of the panel, and the sheep in the right half are moving right. $36.99 from Jo-Ann Deacon, Hamilton, Ontario, through Ebay, Feb., '00.
This version of the same DLS cup, 1½" high, kept its handle but received some dents along the way. This cup has "Germany" printed alongside its handle. $12 from Marlene Schmidt, Readlyn, Iowa, Nov., '00.
1900? DLS
This appears to be a book illustration cut out with no identifying marks left. The perspective is unusual. The owner approaches the shaggy-dressed donkey menacingly with one hand behind his back and a club in the other hand. I have no idea where I got this picture!
1972 Disneyland Double Feature: Walt Disney Presents The Best Stories of Aesop and Animal Stories of Aesop. Both narrated by Sterling Holloway, with music composed and conducted by Camarata. Walt Disney Productions. Disneyland DDF-1.
The second of the two records here is identical with the one produced by Disney in 1961. See my copies above. The first seems to follow the same format as the second, offering five fables: GGE, FC, and "The Hare and the Hound" on Side 1, with DM and TH on Side 2.
2003 Disney Villains: Max Hare. #138. Upper Deck. $.01 from Ken Reid, Brownsburg, IN, through Ebay, March, '23.
This is the original Max Hare that starred in the Disney book and cartoon. The card includes a hologram. My, Disney knows how to make money in so many ways! I note that our collection set a record for the cheapest expense with this purchase! I had not known that "Villains" cards existed! A little research showed that there is also a "grasshopper" villains card. I found it immediately on Ebay! And might there be a "Heroes" card for Toby the Tortoise?
2003 Disney Villains: Grasshopper. #24. Upper Deck. $.99 from "the saint rules" through Ebay, March, '23.
This is the original "Grasshopper" figure that starred in the Disney book and cartoon. The card includes a hologram. As I mentioned about our "Max Hare" card, I had not known that "Villains" cards existed! I believe that there are no further fable cards among the "Villains."
1880? One white-colored plate with a multi-colored illustration of FS in the indented center of the plate. Around the outside of the plate run branches with green leaves and pink flowers.
The central picture shows the stork enjoying a meal out a long tall vase. The fox is left to lick the side of the vase. The colors include strong browns, greens, and pinks. The statement is archaic English: "Ye Stork Inviteth Ye Fox to Dinner." Symbols on the back include the manufacturer's "R" sign and an image of two pots floating in a river. The bottom of this plate also has a semicircular word around a "B."
1880? One white-colored plate with a black-and-white illustration of DS in the indented center of the plate. Around the outside of the plate run branches with leaves and flowers.
The central picture shows the dog with a chop in his mouth viewing a dog in the water with a chop in his mouth. The statement is archaic English: "Ye Dog and Ye Shadow." Symbols on the back include the manufacturer's "R" sign, a semicircular word around a "B," and an impressed symbol hard for me to read.
