Pristine Vtg 1960s Disneyland Grad Nite Grand Prize 24" Pluto Plush - Sleepy Eye For Sale

The Ultimate Holy Grail for Mid-Century Disneyana Collectors.
Up for sale is an incredibly rare, museum-grade piece of Disneyland theme park history: an authentic, giant 24-inch (2-foot-tall) Seated Pluto Plush from the late 1960s / early 1970s.
This is not a standard retail toy. This massive plush was a coveted "Top Shelf" Grand Prize won at a Disneyland game booth during an exclusive, overnight Grad Nite event in the 1960s/1970s. It has been meticulously stored for decades and survives in breathtaking, pristine "time-capsule" condition.Unmatched Rarity Factors:
    •    The "Sleepy Eye" Variant: Unlike the common open-eyed variants, this Pluto features the highly collectible layered tan felt eyelids, giving him his iconic mid-century "half-lidded" or dopey expression. The delicate felt layers are flawless, flat, and entirely free of dry rot or moth damage.
    •    Intact Factory Carnival Hardware: Winners almost always snipped these off immediately, making this feature nearly extinct. This Pluto still retains his original, factory-rigged snout string, metal anchor, and twisted black-and-white chenille pipe-cleaner loop used by ride operators to hang grand prizes on the game display grids.
    •    Flawless Presentation: The vibrant yellow synthetic plush coat is completely clean, fluffy, and unfaded. The iconic original red satin ribbon collar is in perfect condition with absolutely zero fraying or structural wear.
    •    Authentic Factory Stamp: Features the original white ink factory quality-control stamping on the tush area, including the mid-century production codes: tb (Tag/Body), tai (Tail), and nf (Nose/Face).Condition Notes:
Pristine vintage condition. No stains, no odors, no fading, and no fabric deterioration. The structural internal stuffing is firm, and the plush sits beautifully on its own. The delicate nose-hanging hardware is fully intact, though the buyer is advised never to suspend the heavy 2-foot plush by the vintage string to ensure long-term preservation.
