Anyone have any idea what this is, or maybe even what it might be worth?

I've seen this item around town and was wondering if it is something I should pick up or not. It's a sign with Dopey on it that has "THIMK!" painted on by Dopey. It's set to a piece of 1/4 inch thick pressed wood. Other than that it just is made from red, white and black paint, has a little sense of humor with the dopiness of Dopey. While no year is given, it does date itself well in the bottom left corner with (C)WDP.

Here is a picture, now that I can post them.

While Im not exactly sure what it could be.. I would have to say grab it for collection reasons since its WDP. Sound like it 'could' be a hidden treasure possibly! Looking forward to seeing some pictures. Let us know if there is any markings to suggest that it was 'dangled', 'hung', 'attached' to anything. Maybe it was an in park item?

No idea of value but looks cool and old

I'm leaning toward calling this an item made for company use in offices in the Studios or the theme parks. It reflects the catchphrase made popular in the last century by IBM who famously posted "Think" signs throughout their offices, which would have appealed to Disney management types in years gone by. And the lack of polish on the item itself suggests something made for internal use rather than a licensed commercial product. In any case, there's enough value there to make it well worth picking up. Good luck!

Did a quick google search and found this.

Above it though is a never for sale 60+ year old pressed wood sign from WDP (Walt Disney Productions) animators only got in the day that says THIMK! and has Dopey on it with a paint brush in red/white/black (to me priceless and probably most others who know its insane rarity.)
