Eddie Sotto's estate is offering 400 Disney and theme park items in an online auction that closes July 26.

The 400 lots come from the former Imagineer's personal collection, studio and archive. Sotto spent 13 years at Walt Disney Imagineering, where his projects included Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Paris, Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland and early work on Pooh's Hunny Hunt at Tokyo Disneyland.

Two circa-1990 Main Street sketches carry a certificate of authenticity from the estate. Other lots include a Club 33 table lamp artist proof, a cast brass plaque for Walt Disney's father, Elias Disney, and a prototype water-ride model.

Arcadia Auction and Appraisal opened bidding July 8. The first lots begin closing at 4 p.m. Pacific on July 26. In-person previews are available by appointment July 23 through 25 at the auction house's Cudahy, California warehouse.

A 15 percent buyer's premium applies. Shipping is available, though buyers pay the shipping and packing costs listed in the auction terms.
