Item Description
These are both first seen and only known badges. First is 1" tall in red/black enamel on brass with vertical pin and clasp with back stamp of famous maker "J.R. Gaunt/London". We do know of a version of this which reads only "Mickey Mouse Club" and that does not have the double black panels added to this version and stating "Plaza Cinema/Worthing". A microscopic enamel flake off his upper ear but not down to the metal base. Very light general normal wear under magnification. Glossy and VF. Second is larger 1-5/16" tall silvered metal with black enamel details with 1" vertical pin and clasp on back, without a maker's name. The front base Mickey stands upon names the "Apollo" Theatre. Very light surface wear under magnification. Nice silver luster and glossy enamel. VF. Rare.
