Question:
I cleaned out some stuff that was left over from my aunt's estate, and ran across this Disneyland plate. My first thought was that's it's probably not worth much, but I was only able to find one referrence to the same plate here. So I thought I'd bring it to you guys and gals.
Picture of mine.
The one I have has been sitting outside in a stack of collector dishes that were presumed to be of little value. It had a plate on top of it that still had the metal hanger on it, so it left some rust staining at a couple places and it has some scratches where it says "Disneyland".
The back has a green and black "Disneyland" Walt Disney Productions mark.
So, is it trash or treasure?
Answer:
I know nothing about plates, but I did want to say I think it's beautiful!
Answer:
I don't think it's trash. I'd list it.
Do you have an image of the marks?
To remove the rust, try a few of these options, but tread carefully.
Scroll down to removing mineral deposits.

Answer:
We were able to remove the rust stains with a "orange" based type cleaner that my husband uses on his job.
I'll take some more pics today and try to get one of the mark.

As you can see, it's a wall hanging plate, still has the strings. It's a 9 inch plate.
Answer:
I found a larger picture of the plate (see attached image) listed at cs-collectibles.com and they are asking $70 for it. I've not searched farther yet to see if there is more info on it out there.
Answer:
I found one here that looks like yours:

Answer:
Interesting that both of those are listing in the $70 range (mint).
I asked about this plate on the eBay Disneyana forum and the expert there said they are common on eBay and sell for $10 to $20.
I must have picked the one time to search for it on eBay, that there wasn't one listed.
I saw lots of the blue ruffled plate but none of these.
Thank you all for your input.
