Worthy of special mention:
The oldest Donald in the collection is a 1938 metal tray.
Aunt Pat knit a [masterpiece] Donald Duck sweater for a gift.
There is no complete inventory list of the collection.
Included are cookie jars, pens, pencils, pencil boxes, pencil sharpeners, mugs, drinking glasses, straws, puppets, banks, puzzles, stuffed toys, several T-shirts including the official 50th anniversary T-shirt, sweat shirts, plastic drink bottles, children's sunglasses, clock, watches, rings, ink roller, stickers, toys, homemade Christmas tree decorations, story books, non-fiction books, children's sandals, lapel pins, earrings and much more.
Friends and family find it easy to shop for Harvey. We are always on the lookout for new Donald Duck items for the collection. The challenge is in finding something not already in the collection. One Christmas his mother bought the Avon Donald Duck Skiboarder ornament for him. Dale got him a cake pan online from the USA.

Dust is collecting on the collection and much of it is still in boxes. How can a collection of 1000 Donald Ducks be adequately displayed?! We're working on it. Of course living life is a priority.
Questions about the collection are welcome.
