Souvenir Friday- Sleeping Beauty Castle Matchbox
One of my favorite items of merchandise is this Miniature View of the Sleeping Beauty Castle in a fake matchbox. The front graphics featuring the Mark Twain and Columbia echo the matchboxes of the early 1900s. The scene on the inside is hand painted and charming. Based upon the Columbia, I believe this dates from 1958.

Beautiful Souvenir, I can see why its one of your favorites! I've never even seen this before, thanks for sharing!
This is really great. A true and real souvenir of Disneyland. Beautiful.
Such a great idea, it's too bad that there were all kinds of matchbook dioramas created... just think of the possiblilites!
i'm filled with jealous hate!
What is it about the Columbia that dates it at 1958?
Kurtisaurus- since the Columbia is featured and that was one of the new rides in 1958, it makes sense that the merchandise created that year features it. This could be later, but definitely not earlier.
wow i am so green right now!
