Lot of 8 vintage rock pins, Iron Maiden Motörhead, retro Space Monkeys badges

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of eight antique pins with a decidedly vintage aesthetic, presented on a white background. Each badge features a glossy enamel finish and gold or metallic outlines, typical of late 20th-century production. The designs are varied, blending rock universes, pop culture, and retro themes, with a palette of bright and contrasting colors.

Among the visible pins, two pieces are dedicated to iconic rock bands: a rectangular "Motörhead" pin with a black background, adorned with a stylized skull with a red bandana and gold lettering, and a round "Iron Maiden" pin with the famous red logo on a blue background, accompanied by their mascot Eddie in gold. A third badge, in the shape of a bat with outstretched wings and the inscription "Live to Ride," evokes the rock and biker imagery of the 80s-90s.

The lot also includes a square "Knights Warriors" pin predominantly black and yellow, as well as a triangular "Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys" badge, featuring a retro graphic design, typical of 90s animated series and pop culture. A "SCHABAK" pin in the shape of a blue and gold airplane, a green shamrock with a central gold insignia, and a pin depicting an orange train "TOULON" complete the set, illustrating the diversity of themes represented.

The surfaces are shiny, with clear details and bold colors. Some badges show slight signs of wear visible in the light, particularly small superficial scratches, indicating prior use. All designs, logos, and inscriptions are legible on the front.

This lot offers an authentic glimpse into the decorative trend of pins from the 80s and 90s, blending musical references and popular culture. The diversity of shapes (round, square, triangular, specific silhouettes) and enamel finishes gives them a strong decorative appeal, ideal for display on textiles, bags, or pinboards.
