Front Description
This 1970s Mickey Mouse is one of a series of hand-painted pins. This is a small pin a just 3/4" tall. Mickey faces forward but has his head turned to the right. His ears and shoes are painted black, his pants are red and his jacket is yellow with a black button (on occasion, the button is left white).
As the pin is hand-painted, the look of the pin will vary from item to item. There are at least two other color combinations in the series of Mickey pins, including both a blue and a red jacket Mickey.
The pin measure 3/4" (18 mm) wide by 3/4" (19 mm) tall. The back has a traditional metal stick pin end, and the backstamp (though hard to read) says, "WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS."
[May 2009 comment: These were sold as tie tacks. Mine has him in red pants, a white jacket with gold lapels, and gold gloves and shoes. It also has the non-mouth, nose and eyes area of his head painted black.]
