Anniversary Parcel Savings Pin 1992 Vintage Yellow Green Red

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This advertising pin features a cut-out shape reminiscent of a stylized gift package, topped by a large yellow bow. On the front, a handwritten inscription "Anniversaire" (Birthday) appears in red on a green and yellow background, accompanied by a graphic ribbon motif. In the lower-left corner, a yellow insert displays "5 FRANCS", the date "1992" and the words "COLIS ÉPARGNE" (Savings Parcel) in red letters, characteristic elements of French banking or postal promotional items from the early 1990s.

The visual highlights a vibrant color palette: dominant yellow, bright green, red, and touches of black for the inscriptions. A motif of a 5-franc coin (dated 1990, with the motto "LIBERTÉ - FRATERNITÉ") is printed transparently, reinforcing the commemorative aspect and the theme of saving.

The visible surface has a smooth appearance, with a slight sheen suggesting a plastic or resin coating, typical of promotional pins from the period. The overall design is typical of advertising items offered during events or special operations by banking or postal organizations. No manufacturer's mark is visible on the front.

The handwritten typography and bold colors recall the festive and playful aesthetic of the 1990s. This pin features an original cut and graphic design emblematic of the visual communication of that era, making it a representative testament to French advertising design of the early 90s.

The front shows no major visible defects: the motif and colors are well preserved, with no noticeable scratches or apparent alteration of the surface. The item is photographed resting on a patterned textile surface, with no indication of the attachment system on the back.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The illustrated side is in good visual condition, with clear colors and a shiny surface. No chips or significant signs of wear are visible on the displayed side.

Did you know? Advertising pins were very popular in France in the 80s and 90s, often distributed by banks, insurance companies, or public services during one-off marketing operations. The 5-franc coin motif recalls the time when the national currency was still in circulation, before the introduction of the euro in 2002.
