A Pin for Pecos Bill and Widowmaker
When I realized that the pins in the Storybook Collection
series would have the same characters but not feature the same pose as the
ornament, I began to really look forward to them to see what they would
be. Pecos Bill, the second pin, has two
fun scenes.
The front of these pins features simple lines on a single
color background. In this case, we’ve
got a drawing of Pecos Bill riding his horse Widowmaker through a desert
landscape. We can see some spires and a
cacti behind them, but the focus is on the two characters, who are riding
hard. Pecos Bill even has a lasso above
of them. We can’t see what they are
chasing since there isn’t room in the scene.
Above the top, we have Pecos Bill written like the title of a book. All of this is presented with a yellow
background and simple red or green lines.
And just like a storybook, this ornament opens. Inside, we get a full color picture of the
Pecos Bill and Widowmaker with their faces next to each other smiling and
singing.
Now I’ll freely admit that I’m not super familiar with the
movie Melodytime that featured a
segment on Pecos Bill, but I did rewatch it after getting the pin and ornament
for the month. I appreciate the fact
that they picked two different scenes from the movie to highlight here. While there was nothing wrong with the
ornament that just featured the three main characters, I like it more then they
focus on an actual moment from the film.
Being a slightly heavier pin, this one has two posts on the
back to help hold it in place.
Considering there are two pieces of metal connected by the hinges, it’s
no surprise to me that it’s heavier and needed that added fastener.
It’s nice to see some lesser known characters getting a
chance in the spotlight again, and I love this Pecos Bill pin for that
reason. Any pin collector and fan of
Disney’s rarer films will snap this one right up.
And be sure to check out the Storybook Classics ornament and pin series.
