One of the ways that you can identify collectible pins as collectible Disney memorabilia is to look at the pin back. Depending on what era the pin is from, you are going to find that the pin backs can tell you a lot about this unique type of Disney memorabilia.
- * Rubber Black Mickey Shape Pin Back – This is the most common pin back that is used by the Disney company for Disney memorabilia.
- * Metal Squeezing Clasp Pin Back – These Disney memorabilia pin backs were used for a number of the pins that were sold prior to the year 2000. They are available in silver color and gold color and they have been used relatively indiscriminately by Disney. Some double posted pins have come with one pin featuring a different colored pin back right out of the package.
- * Shaped Rubber Backs – Over quite a long time, Disney made use of golden colored rubber backs that were round in shape. In the more decent days, these pin backs have come in a wide variety of additional shapes and colors as well. Disney offers Disney memorabilia catalog pins that use a back that is small and shaped like a diamond. Disney actually also markets replacement pin backs that come in a wide variety of different styles and shapes as well. Depending on the park and the time period, there are also brown backs and yellow backs as well.
- * Tie-Tack Backs - These Disney memorabilia pin backs were used for a short period of time around the 1990s. During this period of time Disney experimented using the same clasps that they were using on tie tacks. These pin backs were certainly effective but they also happened to be bulky and heavy.
- * Screw-On Locking Backs - On a few of the Disney memorabilia pins, including the stick pins originating from the 1970s, the Disney company experimented with these screw on backs that were quite effective but also expensive.
- * Standard Pin Clasps - These Disney memorabilia pin backs come on pins that hail from the early part of the 1990s and before then. They are more like the traditional pin back for a brooch, utilizing a clasp that holds the pin in place. They are secure, but they are often too difficult to put on and then take off again.
The main thing that you need to remember when it comes to Disney memorabilia and pin backs is this: Unless the pin happens to be very rare, the pin back you have is not going to be nearly as important. There are a few pin purists that will argue this particular point, but in the grand scheme of things, it is the pin front that matters rather than the pin back.
