Front Description
The pin depicts the familiar artistic, brush stroke Mickey Head Icon from the Disney Gallery logo. The colors of the icon are blue, yellow and purple. Over a background of black or blue are the words, "The Art of Disney, Main Street Gallery, Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World"
This pin was produced as one of approximately two dozen prototype pins for the Art of Disney Galleries. The pin commemorates the Art of Disney Gallery on Main Street USA at Walt Disney World.
Rumor has it they were intended to be name dropped with the gallery name in each of the four theme parks at Walt Disney World.
In the prototype phase, they were created with different color and finishing combinations (a few are epoxy, some without, a few are blue, a few are black). The size may vary too - at least one is 1-1/4" x 1-1/4", while most measure 1-1/2" x 1-1/2"
Ultimately, the pins were produced in a similar design but different production process - see pin 448.
The back of the pins have a stamping for the country of origin and (c) Disney.
