Laffite’s Silver Shop Secrets:
From New Attraction Profiles: 1966
Informality -- and artistry -- keynote this shop where a metal craftsman will create works of art on the spot. Surrounded by a work bench, forge, pouring pot, molds, polishing wheels and other tools of his trade, he will design silver and gold charms and other jewelry on order from customers. He will also make minor jewelry repairs.
Showcases will display thousands of charms, rings, unset stones and jewelry settings. For the shop decor (and for purchase), Disneyland's staff is now collecting unique tools of the metal-working trade and old art objects made of metal.
From WED Disneyland Dictionary 1968
Has fine silver service and a silver-smith who provides minor jewelry repair work.
From Steve Birnbaum brings you the best of Disneyland 1982:
This little boutique ad- joining the Café Orleans, opposite Mlle. Antoinette's Parfumerie, glitters like a pirate's treasure chest with its booty of silver wares-rings and key chains, spoons and bracelets, lighters and money clips, pitchers and teapots, trivets and trains-all the shinier for the abundance of mirrors on which they are displayed. Some items are emblazoned with Disney character likenesses-Mickey Mouse grins at you from a lighter, for instance. And there is a particularly fine selection of silver charms shaped in a slew of variations, from tennis players and elephant heads to roller skates and giraffes. Really nifty pierced earrings can be found as well. Nearly everything is made from silver or silver plate, but there are a few items-including an intriguing $350 tureen in the shape of a pig-in pewter.
