The Story of Aluminum at Disneyland - 1955

Time for a vintage Disneyland souvenir. From 1955 Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation presents “The Story of Aluminum – at Disneyland”. The contents of this little booklet are a bit dry, unless the production of aluminum excites you. The covers however are pretty exciting. The entire booklet is available for download here:


The Story of Aluminum at Disneyland – 18mb

Nice early artwork on the back cover, I see some vintage fence at the Autopia structure.






Inside of the front cover is a nice layout of the “Kaiser Aluminum Show”. See Daveland's blog for a super interior shot, including the pig (link). For number 1 you can look into the Giant Polished Aluminum Telescope here (link). Number 4, the “Huge Aluminum Time Sphere” can also be seen on Major’s Blog (link). Number 11, the “Eight foot Aluminum Star surrounding Venus” can be seen over at Matterhorn’s blog (link). For an education show, it sure looked fun!






“You live with aluminum. We wouldn’t have this modern world without aluminum”. This sure reminds me of how Zinc Oxide is in our everyday life (link).
