Vintage EUCO bottles enamel pin – Rare advertising badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin depicting two stylized bottles, one orange and the other green, with white areas reminiscent of labels. The lower part of the pin features the inscription "EUCO" in red capital letters on a gold background. The whole piece has a shiny enameled finish, with sharp outlines and relief emphasized by the golden frame visible on the front.

The graphic design is typical of advertising pins from the 1980s-1990s, characterized by bright colors and a streamlined style. The bottles stand out clearly from the background, suggesting a reference to the world of beverages, probably related to the EUCO brand. The orange, green, white, and red colors are well contrasted, and the peripheral gilding accentuates the retro effect of the piece.

This pin has a cut-out shape following the contour of the two bottles and the lettering, with no additional background visible. The surface shows a slight patina effect with some micro-traces of wear, typical of an old object that has been circulated. No major defects are visible on the front.

The "EUCO" typography at the bottom of the pin is perfectly legible, in thick and rounded characters, reinforcing its advertising aspect. No other markings or logos are visible on this side.

The enameled finish provides a beautiful shine and highlights the colors, while offering good resistance to wear. The structure of the pin appears solid, with careful execution of the enameled details.

Condition

Used item with a nice overall patina and slight superficial marks consistent with age. Sold as is, as seen in the photo.

Did you know? Advertising pins were particularly popular in the 1980s and 1990s in France, used by many brands to promote their products to the general public or at events. The cold enameling technique allowed for quick production of colorful and durable series, which explains the diversity of models still visible today.
