Bronze Opening Day Haunted Mansion Plaque
The Gracey Collection Series 1: The Haunted Mansion Gate Plaque
Paragon FX Group is proud to have partnered with Disney to present The Gracey Collection. A carefully curated series of replica attraction pieces as seen at The Haunted Mansion. These museum quality replicas will be manufactured in exceptionally low numbers, celebrating their historical significance, while ensuring their heirloom status within your own collection.
Working in only the finest of materials, these pieces are the result of countless hours of research and old-world craftsmanship. In addition to reference provided by The Walt Disney Archives, Team Paragon has also scanned, studied and/or modeled this entire series from known attraction pieces.
As only fitting, this collection begins at the very entrance to Master Gracey’s abode with The Haunted Mansion Gate Plaque as it appeared on the attraction’s opening day on August 9th, 1969. This full-size (24.5"x14.5") breathtaking replica is brought to life with 22 lbs. of pure foundry cast bronze with an uncoated, polished finish that is intended to naturally age in your collection through the years. Each plaque will ship with its edition number laser etched directly into the bronze, maintaining the unique exclusivity of each plaque.
Limited to just 199 pieces, this run will be released in waves allowing our artisans ample time to properly craft each hand made plaque. The first wave, limited to just 33 units, will be available for pre-order on Halloween 2025, on a first come, first served basis.
Subsequent pieces in the Gracey Collection will be released as we work our way through The Haunted Mansion, exploring the delightfully dreadful props that have entertained you for decades.
NOTE: Bronze will naturally age over time, a process that begins the moment the alloy is cast. Each plaque ships as uncoated polished bronze, allowing for the weathering and patina oxidation to occur naturally. Outdoor display, especially in more humid locations or with salt air exposure, will speed up this process. Indoor display in stable, dry environments will slow the process.
