Vintage Oasis Télécarte 50 units phone card 90s drink ad

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage phone card, known as a télécarte, features an iconic advertisement for the Oasis beverage. On the visible side, a man is seen drinking directly from a large bottle of Oasis, instantly recognizable by the container's orange color and the clearly legible "Oasis" logo. The card has a distinctive gold chip, characteristic of French télécartes used in the 1990s. The inscription "TELECARTE 50" appears in a white box at the bottom right, indicating an initial capacity of 50 units.

The card sports vibrant colors, dominated by the orange tones of the juice and the character's skin nuances. The advertising image occupies the entire visible surface, with no other apparent additional mentions. The card's general appearance is consistent with 90s advertising style, both in typography and photographic staging.

The golden electronic chip, positioned on the left, is intact and clearly visible. The edges of the card appear clean and without major chips on the exposed side. No significant visual defects appear on the photographed surface, although traces of use or superficial micro-scratches may be present, as is often the case with this type of second-hand item.

The item is presented in a metal or plastic holder, which is not included in the sale (only the card is concerned), and which effectively highlights the advertising face. No additional decorative elements are visible; the visual focuses on the Oasis brand effect and the refreshing context of the scene.

The mention "TELECARTE 50" confirms that it is a smart card used for public telephone calls in French phone booths, which were very common in the 80s-90s. This type of card is now sought after for its retro and advertising appeal, particularly by collectors of advertising items or telecom memorabilia.

Condition

Second-hand item, sold as is. Visible side in good general condition, without deep scratches or noticeable missing parts on the photographed surface.

Did you know? Smart chip télécartes first appeared in France in 1986 and marked the rise of modern phone booths. Advertising cards, like this one featuring Oasis, were often issued in limited series and used both as a communication medium and a payment method for phone calls. Their use gradually disappeared with the advent of mobile phones.
