AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Period advertising pin, representing version 13 of the famous AutoCAD software. The visible side features a rectangular base with rounded corners, adorned with a vivid red background and a central illustration composed of a stylized black compass, placed on a yellow diamond bearing the inscription "13" in black. At the bottom, "AutoCAD" is written in gold letters, clearly visible against the red background.

The pin's surface shows a smooth and shiny appearance, typical of an enameled finish. The perimeter reveals a slightly irregular border, probably due to wear or manufacturing technique. The overall design clearly evokes a promotional badge produced in the 1990s, a period corresponding to the release of AutoCAD version 13.

The design is inspired by the graphic codes of technical software of the era, with contrasting colors and strong geometric shapes. The compass illustration recalls the professional use of the software in technical drawing and CAD (computer-aided design).

The pin shows no visible attachment in the photo, which is consistent with the "missing attachment" keyword. No mechanism or additional markings are observable on the front face.

The piece is photographed on a stand adorned with an antique decor, reinforcing its retro character. No major chips are visible on the front face, but the border shows some traces of wear, without affecting the legibility of the patterns and inscriptions.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Missing the back attachment (not visible in the photo). Some traces of wear on the border, shiny enameled surface and well-preserved patterns.

Did you know? AutoCAD, developed by Autodesk, became the global standard for computer-aided design in the 1980s. Version 13, released in 1994, marked a turning point in the software's evolution with the introduction of major functionalities for 2D and 3D drawing, and a redesign of the user interface.
