Disney Alice in Wonderland Broken Keyway Pin

This item is a Disney collectible pin featuring the character Alice from 'Alice in Wonderland.' The pin is crafted from metal, likely a base metal alloy, with a gold-colored finish defining the outline of the characters and the pin's irregular shape. The dominant colors are a warm, glittery orange-brown for the background, which shows some depth and texture, and the characteristic blue and white for Alice's dress. Her hair is depicted in a bright yellow, and her skin tone appears light. The pin has a somewhat stylized, almost geometric shape, with a distinct rectangular section on the left containing Alice, and an irregular, broken-off shape extending to the right, which suggests it might be part of a larger set or a 'chaser' element, specifically appearing to be a portion of a key or a similar object, with a small loop or ring at its top. The enamel fill appears complete and without significant chips or cracks on the visible surface, although there are minor scuff marks and dust particles visible across the surface, indicating handling and display. There is no visible manufacturing mark from this angle, but the quality of the enamel application and the clean lines of the metal suggest a mass-produced, licensed product, typical of Disney pin trading. The pin shows signs of light wear consistent with a frequently handled collectible, but no major damage directly affecting the character detail. The 'broken' aesthetic of the right-hand portion is intentional design, not damage. Its age is likely contemporary, given the style of Disney pins, probably from the late 20th to early 21st century.
