Dueler #1 - Friday the 13th Day of Celebration

This captivating pin features "Dueler #1," a ghostly rendition of one of the iconic Stretching Room portraits from Disney's beloved Haunted Mansion attraction. The character, depicted in a teal top hat and matching long coat, holds a dueling pistol, reflecting the macabre humor of the mansion's spectral residents. This particular figure is widely recognized as one of the "Quicksand Men" portraits, which famously stretches to reveal three gentlemen sinking into quicksand, with one holding a firearm. The pin was released as part of the highly collectible "Friday the 13th Day of Celebration" series at Walt Disney World (WDW) in 2008. It is a Limited Edition (LE) of 1500, adding to its rarity and appeal among collectors. The pin is part of a larger 7-pin framed set within the broader "Friday the 13th Day of Celebration" collection, which often highlights various elements and spirits from the Haunted Mansion. Pins celebrating the Haunted Mansion are consistently sought after due to the enduring popularity of the attraction, which first opened at Disneyland in 1969 and Walt Disney World in 1971, and its memorable cast of characters.
