Walt Disney's Davy Crockett was one of the biggest popular culture crazes of the 1950s. Five Davy Crockett episodes with Fess Parker in the title role were telecast on ABC-TV's Disneyland: "Davy Crockett, Indian Fighter" (12/15/54), "Davy Crockett Goes to Congress" (1/26/55), "Davy Crockett at the Alamo" (2/23/55), "Davy Crockett's Keelboat Race" (11/16/55) and "Davy Crockett and the River Pirates" (12/14/55). The first three episodes were later combined and edited into the feature-length film Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier, released by Buena Vista on May 25, 1955.

Here are ten valuable Walt Disney's Davy Crockett collectibles that are sure to interest TV, movie and popular culture buffs.
