Lot 304		Neverland Valley Cap, Backpack, & Notebooks for Kids Visiting Plus Original 48 Page Brochure for the Property. In 1988, Michael Jackson purchased the 3000 acre property Sycamore Valley Ranch in Santa Barbara, County in Los Olivos, California. He had seen the property when visiting Paul McCartney who was staying there for a short time. The property was developed and sold by owner William Bone who built the main house and guest cottage, most of the landscaping and pools. To put the property up for sale, Bone printed an elaborate, large format, 48 page, full color brochure with over a hundred images of the property and floor plans. While Michael Jackson expanded the property with a petting zoo, carnival, and train station, a great deal of the home remained the same which one can see (bedrooms, bath kitchen, great room etc.) in this rarely offered piece perfect for collectors. Brochure measures 12 x 15" so when open, some of the images are 30" wide panoramas. Excellent condition. (Another property brochure (two-fold with cover letter) that was sent to MJJ Productions for sale in the immediate area in 1993 that was ultimately not considered is also included.) Once Neverland Ranch opened, some visiting children would receive a back pack, a baseball cap plus two large and two small spiral notebooks. Note the Neverland Valley logo of a boy sitting atop a crescent moon is similar to the Dreamworks Studios' logo which began operations in 1994. Their logo design proved so similar that it evidently annoyed Jackson to some degree at the time. The "Neverland Valley" back pack is blue cotton twill with shoulder straps 12 x 10 x 15" includes a child's adjustable baseball cap and two large spiral notebooks 8 x 5" and two smaller 5½ x 4" versions, all in excellent, unused condition.
