QUESTION 1995 Prototype Pin?

[boleyj]

Have the older 1995 box sets been faked? I purchased the Cinderella pins (out of the box) and they don't have the logo on them, just the old waffle back. Seller said they were prototypes, but I don't know much about that?

1995 Cinderella Dreams Do Come True pin set.

Do you happen to have a photo?

 

[boleyj]

I do but I'm not seeing a way to post a picture, would it be best to send it directly to you instead?

You can. There is a little photo thing with a mountain in the menu above.

Yes... this ^
If you hover over this icon, it will say insert image.

A pin number and database reference helps too - if you can locate the pin on one of them. (Pinpics, pintradingdb, pinandpop.)

She sent me a pm with the photos. I’m going to look for them and post them on here.

I couldn't find it on PinPics or Pin and Pop. There are similar pins, but not this exact pin.

Possibly this pin set

PP39996​

and this

PP39993​

 

[boleyj]

Yes, it would be from that pin set

So, I can't actually see the pictures that @momin.ator posted in post #7 & 8.

Also, since @boleyj hasn't been a member for 10 days and have 30 posts, there may not be a way for the new member to post images here, other than linking through an outside source like Imgur or Flickr.

If you know anything about these, I can message you the photos!

Even if the pins were prototypes (AP or PP and which wouldn’t be marked as such in the mid nineties), wouldn’t they still need to have been backstamped with the country of origin, in this case Taiwan? I don’t know, but I would be skeptical .

That's what I was wondering, but I've heard that maybe they don't have to be? I guess I don't know how heavily pins from 1995 are faked? These are very comparable to the original with the stamp on the back and don't "feel" like fakes so I'm really confused on this one!

Boleyj - it is my understanding that anything made outside of USA has to be marked. Error? . Sorry I can’t give you a more definitive answer.
BTW - the pins from those commemorative tin sets are lighter weight and thinner than later Disney pins.

Back of actual pin from Ebay. I hope it is ok to post this.

Thanks! Yea, I have the real pin, it's just that these pin backs don't have a stamp, so wasn't sure if they may be a PP or AP? I'm not as known about the older pins with that since they weren't marked.
