All Walt Disney signatures are not equal! This is the purity of rare: An extraordinary set of three original 1956 “Deed of Gift Under the California Gifts of Securities to Minors Act” documents signed by BOTH Walter E. Disney and Lillian B. Disney — personally gifting Walt Disney Productions common stock to Lillian’s niece’s children.

Offered is a historically significant collection of three complete two-page Deeds of Gift (six pages total, with one pair attractively framed together) dated November 29, 1956. Each deed transfers full beneficial interest in 150 shares of Walt Disney Productions Common Stock (via specific Trustees’ Certificates Nos. 176, 192, 198, and 175 referenced across the documents) to Phyllis Hurrell, 11456 Belfast Drive, Los Angeles 46, California, as custodian for her three minor children: Victoria Hurrell, Clancy Hurrell, and Alexandra Hurrell.

These are not generic stock certificates — they are formal legal instruments executed under the California Gifts of Securities to Minors Act. They explicitly reference the historic 1945 Voting Trust Agreement executed by Walt E. Disney, Roy O. Disney, and other stockholders, under which the shares were held by the trustees (Walt and Roy) for 21 years with full voting rights retained by the trustees. No voting rights pass to the minor recipients or custodian — a fascinating window into the tightly controlled early corporate structure of the company that built Disneyland (opened just one year earlier in 1955).

Phyllis Bounds Hurrell (later Detiege and Kahl) was Lillian Disney’s niece and a beloved, larger-than-life figure at the Walt Disney Studios. She began in the Ink & Paint department (contributing to films including Dumbo), later ran the Disney Commercial Division (producing TV commercials featuring Disney characters right on the studio lot with her then-husband, legendary glamour photographer George Hurrell), and even directed segments of Disney’s outdoor television productions. The family connection runs deep: Phyllis’s children were the direct beneficiaries of these generous gifts from their great-aunt and uncle. Phyllis later married legendary Disney animator Milt Kahl (one of the famed “Nine Old Men”), who — after their divorce — famously used her as the unmistakable model for the flamboyant villainess Madame Medusa in The Rescuers (1977).

These documents are exceedingly rare. While Walt and Lillian Disney signed many items over the decades, personal family financial and legal instruments like these — detailing actual stock transfers to relatives during the golden age of the studio — almost never reach the open market. Comparable dual-signed Disney family legal agreements have realized tens of thousands of dollars at sale; this set offers an even more intimate look at Disney family generosity and corporate history.

Condition: The documents exhibit light, natural aging consistent with 70-year-old legal papers (minor toning, original folds, and slight edge wear), but remain crisp, fully legible, and display bold, dark signatures from both Walter E. Disney and Lillian B. Disney. One pair is professionally framed under glass for display; the others are preserved in protective sleeves. The framed pair shows beautifully and would make a stunning display piece alongside Disneyana or animation art.

Authenticity: All three two-page contracts come with JSA Letters of Authenticity. Provenance is impeccable — directly from a private collection with strong Disney ties.

This is a museum-quality piece of Disney corporate and family history that belongs in the hands of a serious collector, Disneyana enthusiast, or institutional archive. Whether you frame the entire set or keep it as a treasured research artifact, these documents capture a moment when Walt and Lillian Disney were personally shaping the future — one share at a time — for the next generation of their extended family.

Don't miss this very rare “one-of-a-kind” opportunity!
