Looff - King Arthur Carousel Horse - Hidden Mickey 2009

This charming pin features Looff, one of the iconic horses from the King Arthur Carrousel at Disneyland Resort. Part of the 2009 Disneyland Resort Hidden Mickey Series, this pin honors the intricate artistry of the horses found on this classic attraction. The King Arthur Carrousel, an opening day attraction at Disneyland in 1955, actually features horses built by the master carver Charles I.D. Looff. Because this is an Open Edition pin originally released as a Cast Member Hidden Mickey mystery pouch item, it was not sold on store shelves, making it a staple for completionists. Collectors value this piece for its historical connection to the park’s original carousel and the specific detail of the Looff-style carving. The pin displays the classic Hidden Mickey icon, which identifies it as part of the sought-after 2009 series. As an Open Edition release, it remains a popular target for traders looking to complete their carousel horse sets. Its presence in the Disneyland Resort Hidden Mickey series marks a significant era of pin collecting where fans would trade with Cast Members to uncover these designs. The design captures the nostalgic spirit of Fantasyland, appealing to both carousel enthusiasts and veteran Disney pin collectors.
