The bent spiral design reminded me of the Casey Jr. Depot roof crest (credited to Ward), which in turn was based on the depot in "Pigs is Pigs" (1953). That short has Ward's fingerprints all over it, but he's not listed in the credits. I suspect he developed a "modern" house style to answer UPA and they went with that.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-6597782891396666692009-08-17T10:59:37.291-07:002009-08-17T10:59:37.291-07:00I can see Ward Kimball's TOOT WHISTLE PLUNK AN...I can see Ward Kimball's TOOT WHISTLE PLUNK AND BOOM (1953) styling.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610261130964823635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-66770690866771379232009-08-17T01:10:50.593-07:002009-08-17T01:10:50.593-07:00I always thought that spiral patter stuff was draw...I always thought that spiral patter stuff was drawn by the Cheshire Cat. ;)Chianahttp://www.exquisiteirony.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-51556570809210067092009-08-16T08:46:46.844-07:002009-08-16T08:46:46.844-07:00Iv'e often wondered about where the teacup dec...Iv'e often wondered about where the teacup decorations came from too. That "bent spiral" patter is pretty common for Disney in the 1950's. The Casey Jr. Depot has exactly the same styling on the roof crest rails. (although I think it shows up better in the concept sketches for the building that the actual structure).Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-13269148908518217212009-08-16T06:31:56.208-07:002009-08-16T06:31:56.208-07:00Dad was too busy playing with the F stop on his ca...Dad was too busy playing with the F stop on his camera. The little boy is very cute when he is squinting at the camera. I always wonder what the family thought of the photos when they got them back from developing?Matterhorn1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/07140583153080149244noreply@blogger.com
