Front Description
This pin was created as a sales reference sample for the buyers and merchants at DisneyShopping.com - the manufacturer inscribed the alphabet into a blank pin to show the font style and size of the completed item.
This is neither a prototype nor a proof, but an in-house sales sample. Less than 5 were produced.
This is the same pin as #50692 and it shows Chip and Dale lifting a “GRADE A XTRA LARGE” acorn.
As with the production pin it's made from enamel cloisonné and is approximately 1.75" long by 1.75" tall.
[2008 comment: A pre-production proof is about 99.9% production ready, pending any last-minute color, style or design changes it's ready to go into full edition production - a sales sample is a full production pin with all of the production variables signed-off on - with an additional feature added by the manufacturer for the benifit of sales and merchandising - primarily with personalized items.]
