Carolwood Pacific Historical Society - Michael Broggie/Walt Disney Pin

Description: Please remember that as a seller, my sales costs also include packaging tape, printer ink, printer paper, shipping supplies, sales tracking and auction listing tools, not to mention the 12-14% that eBay commissions and payment processing take off the top for fees and commissions. Prices include FREE SHIPPING on all FIXED PRICE items (Domestic Only). All of these costs are included in what you are paying. In the past our images were made using a scanner or camera at very high resolution, exposing many minor flaws that are NOT visible to the human eye. There is a tendency for scanner images to wash out certain colors such as skintones and not pick up silver or gold tones well. I am currently using an iPhone 14 Pro Max with the app "Photoroom Pro" to add innovative backgrounds, providing a stellar image of the actual pin. Please know that as these images are also at very high resolution, flaws, marks, and other imperfections not or barely visible to the human eye may be exposed. Having sold pins for 25 years now, it is nigh impossible to find any pin that I would call "perfect". I also remove the outer plastic wrapper in order to give the images a cleaner line and I return them to the wrapper (assuming they had a wrapper) after taking the image. For those of you that peruse my auctions, a comment on pricing. I look at current and prior completed sales when assessing what price point to list my pins at. To a minimal extent I take my cost into account (after all, the collectibles market is an investment, so values go up and down and I will list a pin near or even under my cost if the market demands this). The biggest factor is rarity, if a pin only comes to market once to several times a year and there are often none of that pin available for sale, I consider those rarities, and will price them accordingly, generally at high values as they are near impossible to replace. Sometimes I wait years to finally attain a certain pin or to replace one I sold. These are the types of pins I consider my specialty as I am ALWAYS on the lookout for something rare, hard to attain, and/or extremely limited. Since I offer free shipping and I try to be at or near the lowest price plus shipping, on eBay, at the time I list, my prices are sometimes negotiable, but not by much. Description: This pin commemorates the 50th anniversary of the "steam up" of the first Disneyland train, the E. P. Ripley. The event was for members of the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society which was started to keep the steam train tradition of Walt Disney alive. Twelve year old Michael Broggie, son of legendary Roger (head of the machine shop at Walt Disney Studios and in charge of building the first 2 trains for the park), rode along with "Engineer" Walt on that historic first run in 1955 as the "Fireman". In train talk, a "Fireman" manages the output of steam by feeding coal to the fire box and water to the boiler. After the anniversary ride around the park, atttendees received this commemorative pin along with a certificate. On front is a black and white picture of young Michael and Walt aboard the E.P. Ripley cab in 1955. Above the pic is a tan banner reading "ENGINEER WALT DISNEY". Below the pic is another tan banner reading "FIREMAN MICHAEL BROGGIE JUNE 18, 1955". Pin measures approx. 1 3/8" wide x 2" tall.
