Vintage Mini Club Med Medal Bird Relief Old Travel Souvenir
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This antique medal features a round shape with an integrated suspension loop. On the visible side, it displays a raised design depicting a stylized bird with outstretched wings, an emblematic motif of Club Med's "Mini Club". The inscription "MINI CLUB" appears in raised capital letters on the upper part of the medal, accompanied on the right by the Club Med logo, also molded. A detail of grainy, irregular texture gives the surface a raw appearance, characteristic of Club Med's vintage productions from the 1970s-1980s.
The finish has a matte, metallic appearance, without excessive shine. The outlines of the motif and letters are sharp, although the item shows some signs of wear and micro-scratches, indicating its previous use. No additional markings are visible on this side, apart from a small raised inscription at the bottom right, which is difficult to read in the provided photo.
The medal is designed to be worn or hung, likely given as a reward or souvenir for children's activities in Club Med resorts. The graphic style, typography, and choice of motif are typical of the brand's playful and recognizable aesthetic during the second half of the 20th century.
The item is presented on a white fabric background with lace patterns, highlighting its patina and relief. No other accessories or elements are included in the image.
Condition
Used item, sold as is. Shows superficial signs of wear and an even patina on the visible side. No chips or cracks visible in the photo.
