Complete vintage Marius Ferrat pin collection – old series, lot of 15 pins

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot includes the complete collection of 15 visible pins from the Marius Ferrat brand, presented on their original cardboard backing. Each pin features vibrant colors with distinct designs, highlighting the name "Marius Ferrat" and various illustrations related to the brand's theme, often associated with confectionery or Provençal local products. Numbers from 1 to 15 are clearly identified under each pin, making it a structured and easy-to-inventory set.

The pins come in various shapes: oval, cut-out, silhouettes of characters or objects, each bearing a legible "Marius Ferrat" inscription and sometimes additional mentions such as "Tradition," "Horizon," or floral and landscape graphic elements. The finishes are glossy, with an enameled appearance and golden reflections visible on most pieces.

The original cardboard backing is light blue, framed by a brown and yellow border. It bears the title "Collection pin’s Marius Ferrat" in green and shows some creases and signs of wear, indicating its age. The pins are arranged in three rows, well-aligned, and held on the original backing. Each pin retains its details, colors, and clear lettering.

Visible motifs include landscapes, characters, stylized instruments or tools, floral compositions, and typical logos of late 20th-century French advertising style. The ensemble evokes a vintage aesthetic, typical of 80s-90s advertising series, without being able to specify an exact date, but consistent with the "vintage" mention in the keywords.
