Vintage Covipa Old Papers yellow pin, rectangular vintage badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description

This old pin is vertically rectangular, with sharp right angles and a flat surface. The visible side features a yellow background adorned with a stylized graphic pattern: at the center, a schematic figure evoking a person or a statue, enhanced with geometric lines and stylized foliage at the base. At the top of the pin, the inscription "VIEUX PAPIERS" (OLD PAPERS) is clearly legible, accompanied by a small tree symbol. At the bottom, the mention "COVIPA" appears in capital letters. The entire design is printed in black on the yellow background, which gives the piece a strong contrast and good legibility. The pin is presented in a transparent plastic bag, which protects the visible side and suggests it has not been worn or handled recently.

The graphic design, typical of the 1980s-1990s with its clean style and bold colors, evokes the promotional or associative productions of that period. The object is flat, with no perceptible relief on the front. The outline appears framed by a black line, highlighting the rectangular shape. No other inscription, logo, or mark is visible on the front.

The dominant color is a bright yellow, enhanced with black details. No traces of patina or oxidation are observable on the front, which appears to be in good condition. The pin is protected by its original packaging (thin plastic bag), which limits direct observation of the surface texture but attests to careful preservation.

The "Vieux Papiers" (Old Papers) motif and the "Covipa" mention likely indicate an association or organization linked to the conservation or collection of old documents, which gives this badge a heritage dimension.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The front is in very good visual condition, with no scratches or apparent defects under the plastic packaging. Presence of the original protective bag.

Did you know? In France, the term "pin's" refers to a metal badge adorned with an enameled or printed design, popularized in the 1980s-1990s during advertising, associative, or event campaigns. Themed pins, like this one, were frequently produced in limited series for clubs, associations, or cultural events.
