Vintage Mickey Mouse 1 Inch Celluloid Pinback Button Disney Collectible Pin

Description

View Vintage Mickey Mouse 1 Inch Celluloid Pinback Button Disney Collectible Pin with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Type: Pinback button (celluloid). General light surface soiling and dulling to the celluloid. Light rim and edge wear, with minor irregularity and small nicks where the celluloid is folded over the shell edge. A small vintage celluloid pinback button featuring the classic standing Mickey Mouse — hands clasped behind his back, one foot forward, in red shorts with white gloves and shoes, printed in black and red on a white ground. Construction is the traditional celluloid method: a printed paper image sealed under a thin clear celluloid film, wrapped over a stamped metal shell and secured by a metal collet ring on the reverse. The fastener is a single straight brass-tone wire pin with a formed hook catch, seated in the collet — the older style of button assembly rather than a modern spring-and-coil pin. Measures approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. The button carries no copyright line, maker's mark, back paper, or union bug of any kind, so it cannot be attributed to a specific manufacturer or licensee, and no claim of official licensing is made here. The artwork uses the post-1939 Mickey design (oval eyes with pupils rather than the earlier "pie-eye" style), which places the button no earlier than the 1940s; the celluloid-and-wire-pin construction and the two-color printing are consistent with a mid-century to 1970s novelty or souvenir button. Offered as an unmarked period example, dated by construction and artwork style only. A nice small-format piece of Mickey Mouse memorabilia — displays well in a shadow box, pin board, or button collection, and ships easily and inexpensively. Please review the detailed photographs, which form part of this condition description. Condition: Good vintage condition with honest age wear. Specifically: Scattered age toning and small rust-colored foxing specks across the white field, most noticeable near the upper right of the image area and along the lower edge General light surface soiling and dulling to the celluloid Light rim and edge wear, with minor irregularity and small nicks where the celluloid is folded over the shell edge Reverse: metal shell shows darkening/oxidation and light surface tarnish; dust and lint present in the recess No cracks, splits, or lifting of the celluloid observed; no dents or crimping to the shell observed Wire pin is present, straight, and intact; hook catch is functional and holds No back paper present; no maker's, copyright, or licensing markings anywhere on the piece Sold as-is, as a used vintage collectible.
