AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot brings together 10 old advertising pins, mostly from the 1980s-1990s, visible in the photo. Each pin features an emblematic logo or brand, mainly in the fields of media, audiovisual, music, and food. The fastenings are of the classic type, with a neat presentation on a neutral support.

Notably, there are pins featuring large media channels or entities such as "M6", "CMT Country Music Television", "ABC News", "Mini Disc", and "Sony Cassette", with vibrant colors and graphics characteristic of the period. The shapes are varied: rectangular, bottle-shaped (Henri Maire), ball-shaped (Sony Cassette), or even mascot-shaped (Gervais). The inscriptions are generally clear and legible.

Some pins highlight beverage or food brands, such as "Disaronno Amaretto" (stylized red bottle) and "Henri Maire" (green bottle with sailboat and dates 1992-1993). There is also a "Gervais" pin depicting a mascot holding a pot, a stylized golden rose, as well as a triangular "Overseas Filmgroup" pin.

The dominant colors are gold, red, blue, green, and black, with shiny enameled finishes and outlines often highlighted with a visible golden or metallic effect. The motifs are typical of late 20th-century visual communication, alternating between clean graphic styles and figurative details. The collection presents a beautiful diversity of themes and shapes, emblematic of advertising from that era.

The lot is presented on a white inclined stand, allowing for good visibility of the front face of each pin. No details of the reverse are visible in the photo.
