Great Characters Walt Disney Special Edition Ballpoint Pen

The name Walt Disney is forever linked to the art of cartooning and the history of American cinema. From his original desire to perfect the technique of creating cartoons, a veritable empire was created and grew to unimaginable proportions. Born in Chicago in 1901, Walter Elias Disney stood out for his creativity and pioneering spirit, which allowed him to become one of the most influential and admired film producers of his time. The shape of the writing instrument is inspired by the legendary monorail system, while the colors are a reference to the original poster for "Steamboat Willie" (1920) which marked the official birth of the Mickey Mouse character. The cap and barrel in matte black precious resin feature several hidden Mickeys, and Walt Disney's signature is reproduced on the top of the cap. The geographic coordinates engraved on the cone honor an important location early in Disney's career: the garage of Walt Disney's uncle, where he and his brother made a camera stand.
