Walt Disney Donald Duck 40 Year Service Award 1971 Very Rare

Donald Duck Bronze 40-Year Disney Service Award (Walt Disney, 1971). This rare 40-year service award is an incredible piece of Disney history, given only to Cast Members who have dedicated at least four decades to the company. Crafted with a solid bronze figure of Donald Duck standing proudly atop a film reel and can, the award is mounted on a substantial wood base with a brass plaque. This particular award was presented to longtime Disney employee David Fleischer, honoring his remarkable commitment to the company. Standing 9.5" tall on an 8.25" square base and weighing approximately 7 lbs., this award is both a substantial and prestigious item. Given the dedication required to earn it, very few of these awards were ever made, making them highly sought-after collectibles that rarely appear on the market. In Very Good condition with light handling wear including slight peeling to the plaque's protective film, this award represents not only a rare achievement but also a tangible piece of Disney's legacy and Cast Member culture.
