Help! Disney Pin Corrosion!
I am new here, and I need some help!
Back in 2009 we went to Disney World, and as souviners, we bought lanyard pins and traded them our whole trip. It was a lot of fun!
Anyways, I have kept my pins on their lanyard and just hung it up in our house on display. I recently looked closely at my pins again, and two of them show signs of corrosion! :cry:
One is a 2008 pin that is from Animal Kingdom - it is a rectangular one that depicts Nemo on a blue background with the words "Disney * Pixar presents Finding Nemo the Musical." This one has some sort of green corrosion on the back that has begun to creep around to the side (although the sides aren't too bad yet).
The other is the 2009 annual pin that is the large numbers "09" and has Nemo and Buzz Lighyear on it. This pin worries me - it has a lot of dark brown rust on the back surrounding the areas where the actual pin posts are, and creeping away from there.
Any help anyone can give me about how to clean and then preserve these two pins would be greatly appreciated! We live in Ohio, so it's not unusually humid or anything here, and out of my lanyard-full of pins, these are the only two that are having problems.
Help! What do I do?! :anxious:
Thanks!
