AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual description
Standard-sized chip telephone card (approx. 8.5 x 5.4 cm), illustrated on the main side with a colorful and tender scene: a young girl in a marinière holding a puppy, both wearing a blue bow. At the top right, the inscription "Call home" is clearly visible, while the bottom right corner displays "TELECARTE 50", indicating a capacity of 50 units. The golden chip, typical of French phone cards from the 1990s, is present on the left side. The background mixes pastel tones, blue and pink, with a vase of flowers suggesting a family interior decor. The edges of the card are rounded, true to the standard of phone cards of that era.

The card surface has a smooth and shiny appearance, with no scratches or major defects visible in the photo. The colors are vibrant, the visual is centered and well printed, suggesting a good overall condition. No serial or edition number is visible on this side.

Typology and use
This is a chip phone card, used in French phone booths to make calls, mainly in the 90s. The "Call home" visual and the child/puppy staging were common to encourage family communication. This type of card, now out of use for telephony, is sought after for its decorative and retro interest.

The card is placed on a golden fabric, which enhances its graphics and colors. No signs of excessive wear, chips, or stains are apparent on this side.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. The card presents a very clean appearance, with no notable defects visible in the photo. No guarantee on the condition of the chip or the remaining balance.
