That's the opening bid for this classic piece of Disneyana that is currently up for auction at Hake's Americana and Collectibles. The item is an original model sheet for Donald Duck from his first appearance in the 1934 Silly Symphony The Wise Little Hen. The item description indicates that the sheet was likely drawn in December of 1933, but does not identify an artist for the piece. The U.S. 20 displayed in the right bottom corner was a serial number that referred to United Artists Silly Symphony #20.
