AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old pin depicting a football player, clearly inspired by Olympique de Marseille (OM), judging by the blue jersey with white trim and the inscription "AREST" visible on the chest. The piece features a character identified by the first name "TONY" inscribed in capital letters on the lower part of the pin. The entire silhouette stands out against a gold background, with clean lines and enameled areas in bright blue, off-white, and beige for the skin tone. The stylized face is delineated by golden lines and black details for the hair. A stylized golden crest, positioned on the character's left shoulder, evokes a badge or distinction specific to the world of football.

The general shape of the pin is cut according to the character's silhouette, without a background, for a relief effect. The object has a glossy finish with a typical enameled appearance of pins from the 1980s-1990s. The main colors, sky blue and white, clearly recall OM's visual identity. The details of the jersey, the player's dynamic pose, and the retro graphics give this pin a sporty and vintage character, reinforced by the naive style of the drawing.

The inscription "TONY" suggests that it is a tribute to a player named Tony, popular or emblematic at a given period in the club's history. The golden outlines emphasize each color zone, bringing brilliance and legibility to the whole. The general condition, based on the visible side, appears good, without major chips or pronounced wear on the enameled surface. Some micro-traces or minor irregularities may remain, typical of a used item.

This pin, due to its graphics and colors, fits perfectly into the category of vintage football supporter accessories. It will find its place on a jacket, a bag, or in a display case dedicated to the memory of the Marseille club. The manufacturing style and aesthetics evoke promotional productions or souvenirs distributed during the club's great periods, particularly at the end of the 20th century.

Condition
