Timeline of NAME: "Walt Disney Productions"???

[hollyg3]

Hello fellow collectors! I haven't posted here in years, but I have a burning question for you...

What is the timeline of the Walt Disney Company name for products???

For example, I have a park souvenir that says Walt Disney Productions on the label. I was thinking late 70's or early 80's.

Anybody know the timeline of the names???

Thanks!

The very first true "Disney" merchandise was Oswald Rabbit items in 1927. The copyright read "Universal".

1930- ? Walt E. Disney and Walter E. Disney on foreign licensed merchandise.

1939 Walt Disney Productions, or W.D.P.

(1943-64): Postal zones started showing up on manufacturer's addresses)

1946-1951 "Made in Occupied Japan"

(1964 Zip codes were added to the postal system)

1971 W.D.P. and WDP were eliminated and only Walt Disney Productions was used
