My Alice in Wonderland collection - some pins

 I have lots of Alice pins but these are special as they are the first ones I bought  in the early 90's. I am not really sure how those became so widely available in Europe as they were made for Walt Disney World 15th anniversary back in 1986.
The little anecdote here is that I actually bought 2 sets...one for my collection and one to wear...but as there was no way I'd wear something that says Coca-Cola I had actually sawed off the bottom part.








You all the photos from my collection (so far) at GEMR

    Sawing off the coke will diminish the value though, there's coke collectors out there! I used to have a coca-cola yoyo, these were official tournament yoyo's, and worth quite a lot...

    Hahaha, I would've done that too. I don't like logo's on pins or brooches!
    Beautiful collection!

    Great pins! I would have never taught about buying the whole collection! But that's the difference between me and a collector i guess :D. And about the brand I sometimes like to wear little pins that are branded, if they're lots the brands lose their importance and begin to fade into a more general image that has unity but also lots of details!
