Vintage Club Med MINI CLUB medal relief bird travel souvenir badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This antique medal has an irregular round shape, with a ring molded into the mass for hanging or attaching. The visible side has a matte finish, light gray to stone gray in color, with a prominent relief. A stylized representation of a bird in full flight, typical of the iconography of the Club Med "Mini Club", is clearly visible. The raised letters "MINI CLUB" are clearly visible in the upper part of the medal. In the lower right, an incised inscription "BORDE" appears, probably the name of the manufacturer or designer.

The central motif of the bird, with outstretched wings and textured plumage, evokes the style of medals from the 1970s-1980s, a period when the Club Med Mini Club was particularly popular. The relief is deliberately naive and playful, true to the childlike spirit associated with this division of Club Med. The visible patina, uniform over the entire surface, suggests regular use and authentic age.

The medal has a slightly grainy appearance and some surface irregularities, characteristic of a hand-molded piece or one from artisanal production. No major chips or cracks are visible on the front. The matte texture and absence of shine enhance the vintage look of the object. The edge is irregular, without sharp edges, which contributes to its retro character.

The medal is placed on a brown leather seat, which highlights its sober tones and retro style. No reverse is visible in the photo; the analysis focuses strictly on the front. The upper ring suggests its use as a badge, pendant, or medal to hang around the neck or attach to a support.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. The medal has a homogeneous patina, some signs of wear and small surface irregularities, with no apparent structural defects on the visible side.
