The same prints in slightly different frames are found on p.193 of the 1974 Disneyana book by Cecil Munsey. According to the author, they were "sold by Artisto, Inc. of NYC. Each picture came with an antiqued frame in a box and retailed for 39¢." Other Disney characters were also produced.

More frames are seen on p.149 of The Collector's Encyclopedia of Disneyana by David Longest and Michael Stern.

The prints were issued in metal frames too.
