Item Description
First is octagonal 1-1/16" tall with text surrounding full figure of Mickey "Odeon Mickey Mouse Club." This is a British 1930s club pin. Short .25" near hairline of enamel off along side the word "Mouse" but all else is Exc. Next is very unusual 1930s figural Mickey pin in silvered brass accented by green and red enamel. No markings on this one but 1930s and likely European. Last is brass luster pin with acrylic plastic front. Reverse has needle post and clutch. This is an emblem used by The Mouse Club, a collectors group formed in the 1980s. Pin displays Mickey's eyes showing through a bag on his head and upper body. The purpose of this was to avoid any Disney copyright issues. The club was founded by Ed & Elaine Levin and held the first Disneyana collector conventions. This is Mint. Comes with Hake's COA.
