Item Description
A happy Minnie, finely detailed from her stylized tall skinny hat down to her high heels, strikes a jaunty pose. She is a full 1.25" tall and the brass back holds a 1" vertical pin with clasp plus boldly stamped maker name "Leman (last letter is covered by the base of the clasp) Registered". There the slightest surface wear, largely invisible without magnification, plus near invisible enamel loss at the tops of her legs with right leg showing just a pinpoint dot of brass. Mickey stands 1-1/8" tall with 7/8" diagonal pin with clasp across the back and no maker name. Mickey has a look of either amazement or terror or maybe he is just struck by Minnie's appearance. He has one near microscopic hairline on his right shoe and a couple short and shallow scratches on his upper body under magnification.  Both pieces have thin brass lines outlining the various design elements and both retain full gloss. Overall both VF and our first offered and only known examples.
