A costumed character head of Goofy once worn at Magic Kingdom has a new owner.

The piece sold at an auction of Disney-related items for 19-thousand dollars earlier this month.

The pre-auction estimate was between four-and-six thousand.

Goofy’s head was the highest-drawing item from the auction’s Walt Disney World section and was described as “incredibly rare” and dating to the 1990s.
