AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot includes 10 old advertising pins, typical of the 80s and 90s, visible in the photo. Each pin features a colorful enameled finish with golden outlines, on a metal backing with a classic butterfly clasp. The designs are varied, mixing beverage brands, media, and cultural references, reflecting the eclecticism of promotional items from this period.

Among the most recognizable pins are several featuring the Henri Maire wine estate, including one in the shape of a bottle and another stylized as a bunch of grapes, both adorned with distinctive inscriptions and logos. Also included is a "Cutty Sark Scots Whisky" pin in the shape of a yellow shield, and a "Dynamo Duck" pin with a stylized duck motif on a yellow background, typical of late 20th-century retro design.

The lot also includes a "RAIUNO" pin in the shape of a golden globe (Italian television channel), a "SPACE ABOVE AND BEYOND" pin with a black and orange background (series or event), and a pin featuring a golden profile accompanied by inscriptions in the Cyrillic alphabet. Other pins with graphic designs, including one with the letters "GA", complete this varied set.

The dominant colors are gold, red, green, yellow, and black, with each piece showcasing a luster unique to this generation of advertising pins. The clasps on the back appear original, with no visible modifications. The overall presentation shows slight traces of use and some micro-scratches, signs of past use without excess.

Legible inscriptions include: "Henri Maire", "Cutty Sark Scots Whisky", "Dynamo Duck", "RAIUNO", "SPACE ABOVE AND BEYOND", "AM ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK", as well as mentions in Cyrillic alphabet on a golden profile pin.
