AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The card shown in the photo is an amateur radio QSL card, issued to commemorate the millennium of Brussels (Millennium 979-1979). The front displayed features a graphic design dominated by a vivid orange, adorned with a central black and white motif depicting a winged figure surrounded by human silhouettes forming a circle. The inscription “BRUOCSELLA 979-1979” is clearly visible below the central scene, while the top right corner reads “BRUSSELS MILLENNIUM 979-1979”.

In the bottom right, a white inset bears the handwritten note “ONL 3916 From”, typical of personalized QSL cards sent between radio operators. The entire visible front is printed, without additional ornamentation, and the graphic style evokes the late 1970s with its bold colors and visual treatment.

The general condition of the card, as observable, appears good: the surface shows a nice color homogeneity, with no noticeable stains, tears, or creases on the exposed part. The corners seem clean, without significant wear. The card's material does not show excessive shine or particular texture, suggesting a matte or satin cardboard, but this cannot be confirmed without keyword verification.

The QSL card is placed on a wooden piece of furniture, in front of a shelf of old books, highlighting its retro appearance and its use as a souvenir of radio waves. No back or postal shipping details are visible in this image.

The circular graphics, the orange color, and the millennium inscription are characteristic of event-based productions, often sought after for documenting historical amateur radio exchanges and thematic commemorations.
