AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin, with an enameled design, representing a stylized map of the Brest and Roscanvel region. The visible side features a light blue background, evoking the sea, with golden contours and a smooth finish. Two red sailboats are depicted, a larger one in the center and a smaller one on the right, accompanied by stylized white gulls in flight. The pin bears the inscriptions "Brest", "Roscanvel", and "ROSCANVEL 92" on green and white surfaces, all clearly legible. The whole is bordered by a golden trim that emphasizes the irregular contour of the pin, reminiscent of a geographical map or a regional coat of arms.

The main visual is dynamic, with a strong contrast between blue, green, and red, typical of advertising or event creations from the 90s. The enamel offers a shiny appearance and highlights the vibrant colors, without superfluous patterns. The typography used for the inscriptions is simple and perfectly legible, reinforcing the commemorative and regional aspect of the item.

This pin is attached to a dark blue textile backing (decorative, not included), which highlights the piece's brilliance. The golden border, visible all around the periphery, suggests careful finishing work, common on promotional pins from the late 20th century. No major defects or chips are visible on the front; the surface appears well-preserved, with the enamel and golden relief in good condition.

The irregular shape, similar to a map silhouette or a coat of arms, is typical of French regional or event pins from this period. The design emphasizes local identity, with a clear evocation of the Breton coast and nautical activity, reinforced by the presence of the sailboats.

This pin is for anyone looking for a vintage badge, a souvenir of Brest or Roscanvel, or an item representative of Breton maritime culture from the 90s. It will find its place on a jacket, a bag, or in a display case dedicated to old regional or advertising items.
