PP10906    Cheshire Cat - Bravo, Les Imagineers - EuroDisneyland 1991 - Imagineer Award

One of five pins issued in 1991 to Imagineers of EuroDisneyland prior to the park's opening in 1992. All five of the pins are gold metal (i.e., no silver pins were awarded by Disney).

This gold-and-maroon pin features the CHESHIRE CAT from Disney's animated Alice in Wonderland.

*NOTE*

There seem to be a lot of this old pin showing up for sale and trade lately. Be careful with this pin. The ones showing up on WDW lanyards lately have a smooth back and the text is raised. The pin post is twice the length of a normal pin post. There is a small nub next to the pin post to keep the pin from spinning when worn.

[2008 comment: Both pins have the nub on the left side of the post. Both have raised lettering. The one with the long post is smooth & shiny on the gold front as well as on the back; The other (shown in picture) has a brushed look (from upper left to lower right) across the entire pin front and a slightly textured back. The brushed pin (with regular length back) is typically rather worn looking with some black showing through (it's quite an old pin, so this isn't surprising). Hope this helps!]
