Question about pin #61374.

[Seanan]

I have this 2008 Tinker Bell pin; it was given to me by a friend who had been at WDW and bought it herself. The pin looks perfect, and is still on the card...

...but it doesn't have "Happy Mother's Day" written across the central flower.

I'm honestly a little baffled. Everything looks normal. There's no damage, the enamel and glitter fill are good: I'm sure it's not a scrapper. But something that's supposedly an element is missing. The script as shown on PinPics doesn't look like it's actually part of the pin.

Help?

It looks like a silk screen, and that type of paint wears off easily. It's also possible it's just a manufacturer's error and that pin was never silk screened like the others. Kind of a cool error to me, since I don't like pins with a lot of writing *lol*

We have a few like this. and I've seen othere's, some times when they get silk screened or painted the machine will be off or the pin moved just a tad and it will be in the wrong place or missing. My friend has a Bambi like this and my other friend has the simba and Nala "Pinned ya again" but missing the words.
