Rare vintage black and red Villigon Voyages coach old pin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual description

This vintage pin depicts a stylized coach seen in profile, with a gold metallic finish. The visible face features a black background highlighted by a red band on the lower part of the bus, evoking a typical decoration from the 1980s-1990s. The angular silhouette of the vehicle is finely outlined with a gold border, enhancing the relief effect and the legibility of the shape.

On the lower part, the pin clearly displays the handwritten "Villigon" logo on the left, followed by the word "VOYAGES" in gold capital letters on a black background. The typography and graphic style are characteristic of the visual communication of transport agencies of this period, accentuating the retro aspect of the object.

The front surface of the pin shows a slight patina and some visible signs of wear, particularly on the dark areas of the bus and around the gold inscriptions. No chips or missing parts are visible on the front face; the structure appears perfectly preserved.

The outline of the pin is clean, with a cut following the shape of the bus and its rectangular base. The contrast between black, red, and gold lines gives the whole an elegant and advertising look, typical of promotional pins distributed by transport companies in the 80s-90s.
