Front Description
One of six pins from the Haunted Mansion Animal Tombstone set of Hidden Mickey pins is the eighth series that was released at Disneyland. Each of the pins features animal tombstone/pet cemetery pins. The small Hidden Mickey icon is in different places on the pins. Pins were originally only available by trading with a cast member. In 2009, pouches containing two random 2009 Hidden Mickey pins were available to purchase for $10.95.
This pin features Old Fly Bait the frog on a tombstone. The pin says "OLD FLY BAIT He Croaked August 9 1869". A small Hidden Mickey icon is located on the bottom of the pin.
However, this pin differs from the original in its beige coloring. The face, left arm, and part of the tombstone are beige whereas the right arm is the correct silver color. The back stamp is exactly the same as its non-error counterpart, pin 72109. The logo, font and any other distinguishing marks are exactly the same.
[October 3, 2009, comment: I have four pins from the set, all with some color variation. I got my pins from a cast member the day they came out in their original plastic sealed bags so I know they are authentic.]
Common: Rat, Spider, Bat, Frog, Fish, Poodle
