AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This telephone card features an illustration of an old crank telephone, highlighted against a plain brown background. It is a chip phone card, "Télécarte 50" model, as indicated by the vertical white inscription on the right side of the visible face. The golden electronic chip is well-centered in the upper part of the card, under a white arrow pictogram pointing upwards, typical of French phone cards from the 1980s-1990s.

The telephone depicted on the card is a historical model, recognizable by its metallic structure, its gold and black elements, its side crank, and its separate handset. Refined details can be seen, such as the twisted cord connecting the handset to the base, as well as visible mechanical parts. The image evokes the retro and technical aesthetic of early telephones, with a simple and neat presentation.

The plain brown background highlights the central object and accentuates the contrast with the metallic reflections of the telephone. The entire card has a slightly satin surface, typical of chip phone cards from that era. There are some signs of wear and superficial scratches visible on the front, normal signs of a used item that has been handled.

The card is a standard rectangular format with rounded corners, typical of French phone cards. No other text, brand logo, or number is legible on the visible face, apart from the mention "Télécarte 50" and the arrow pictogram. The card is photographed on an orange fabric, which does not affect its original visual appearance.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side shows signs of use in the form of scratches and light marks, without major alteration to the image or the electronic chip.

Did you know? Chip phone cards were introduced in France in the 1980s to replace telephone tokens. Their illustrations varied depending on the series, and some highlighted historical or technical objects, such as the first crank telephones, symbols of the history of communications.
