I have some of these:
P-1 Donald Duck
P-2 Mickey Mouse
P-3 Sleeping Beauty
P-4 Bambi
P-5 101 Dalmations
P-6 Peter Pan
P-7 Pinocchio, Snow White
P-8 Pluto (Circus Dog), Lady and the Tramp
P-9 Goofy (The Travelling Cameraman)
P-10 Mickey Mouse (Brave Little Tailor), Dondald Duck (Sky Hammock)
P-21 Cinderella
P-22 Mary Poppins
P-23 Winnie the Pooh

They are all marked "Sawyers" and "@Walt Disney Productions"
"14 scene reel, non-stereo, not for use in a view-master stereoscope".
The last few are dated 1964 or 1965, the others are not dated.
It appears that they were consolidated from previously released reels
sets, for (2d) projector use. I wonder if perhaps they were sold *with*
a projector as a set, but I do not know. I also have only seen these
reels without sleeves, and I store mine in plain white envelopes.
