France Telecom vintage bird mascot enamel pin 90s rare badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Old advertising pin featuring France Telecom's iconic mascot, visible in relief on the front. This badge depicts two stylized birds, one large holding a telephone receiver, the other smaller, both dressed in blue with red and yellow details. The outlines are highlighted by a shiny metallic finish, while the colored areas feature smooth enamel predominantly in blue, white, red, and yellow.

The bottom part of the pin displays the historical France Telecom logo, accompanied by the inscription "France Telecom" in blue on a white background. The overall design is typical of the 1990s, both playful and corporate, characteristic of promotional items from that era. The characters' details are clear, with an easily recognizable cartoon drawing, reinforcing the item's retro feel.

The general appearance is that of an advertising pin with a metal fastener (fastener type not visible here), designed to be worn on a jacket, bag, or displayed in a showcase. The vibrant colors and the brilliance of the enamel attest to careful manufacturing, typical of institutional communication campaigns of the late 20th century. The visible surface shows no major apparent defects, apart from some minor signs of use compatible with a second-hand item from this period.

This pin perfectly illustrates France Telecom's visual universe during the popularization of mobile phones in France, with a dynamic and expressive mascot. The compact item is presented here on a light velvet background, accentuating the enamel's brilliance and the drawing's quality.

The visible area shows no chips or deep scratches, but slight superficial marks may remain, typical of an old, handled badge. The inscription "France Telecom" and the logo are perfectly legible on the front.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. Shows slight signs of use visible on the enamel and metallic edges. The front remains in very good presentable condition for a vintage item.

Did you know? France Telecom used several animal mascots in its institutional campaigns of the 1990s, particularly to promote its new mobile services and the rise of mobile telephony.
