Front Description
Goofy'shead is shown facing left, looking left on this ceremic hand-painted pin. It is one of a large series of faces shown in profile.
Goofy is smiling, with red showing in mouth. His two white teeth are pronounced and his face shows black freckles. His iconic hat is a light steel blue with black stripe.
The pin height is going to vary slightly, depending on the ceramic casting. It is slightly more than 3/4" (20 mm) wide and 1" (25 mm) tall. It has a glued-on post back. On the reverse is a sticker attached which reads "© WALT DISNEY PROD."
Roz Simon and Wendy Niven were designers and owners of Flights of Fancy - a West Coast ceramic jewelry company (circa late 1970's to early 1990's). The Disney pin series was produced in the early 1980's. Pins were licensed by Disney and sold in department stores such as Bloomingdales and Macy's, as well as various boutiques, gift stores, etc. They were also sold internationally (Japan, in particular).
Flights of Fancy jewelry gained fame from taking popular items - from boxes of crayons, Chiclets Chewing Gum boxes, tape dispensers, and other whimsical subjects - and creating colorful ceramic pins. Some were brooch-style and others had a single post back.
