AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This phone card, also known as a telecard, features a colorful and playful illustration of a stylized bee in large format, accompanied by two smaller bees and scattered floral motifs on a pastel green background. The main bee illustration occupies the right side of the card, displaying vibrant colors: yellow, black, white, sky blue for the eyes, and touches of red on the stinger. The outlines are sharp, with a graphic style reminiscent of the 90s to 2000s due to its digital treatment and rounded shapes.

The inscription "Télécarte 120" is clearly visible at the bottom left, on a light green background. To the left, the characteristic gold chip of smart phone cards is integrated, highlighting the card's original function. A white arrow is visible next to the chip, indicating the direction of insertion into the telephone device.

The background of the card is adorned with small, simplified white and yellow flowers, enhancing the spring-like and childlike aspect of the design. The card is presented on a golden yellow textile support, making its colors stand out. No brand logo, specific date, or telephone operator mention is visible on the front.

The visible surface of the card shows slight signs of wear and micro-scratches, typical of an object that has circulated or been handled, with no major chips or structural deterioration observable on this side.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with some visible signs of wear and superficial scratches on the illustrated side. The visible edges appear clean.

Did you know? Chip phone cards were widely used in France from the 1980s until the 2000s, before the rise of mobile phones. The number "120" here indicates a credit of 120 communication units, which was a common value for cards intended for regular use.
