Front Description
Prototypes for pin #30883. Goofy stars as a chauffeur for hire in this handsomely matted and framed presentation of six production elements that tell the story behind the production.
The highlights of the pin production process, represented here from left to right, are:
1. the engraved image of the pin artwork stamped onto a piece of brass;
2. a clean-cut version of the base pin, the result of various molds being made to refine the pin's perimeter;
3. a version on which each color is applied by hand, then baked to set the color (this step is repeated after the application of each color);
4. a version on which all colors have been added, which is then baked in a kiln to set all the colors permanently;
5. a polished, buffed version of the pin on which the various colors are smoothed out and their borders more clearly defined; and
6. the final version of the pin, which is plated with a gold finish.
The pin shows Goofy driving his taxi limousine. Goofy being too tall for the small cab has his head with chauffeur cap out the sunroof and his arm out the window signaling a left turn. The sign on the side of the grey and white taxi says "For Hire".
SIZE: approx. 14.5" x 19.75" x 0.75".
