AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pin features a slightly thick rhombus shape with a yellow and white enamel finish. On the main face, the letters "HSR" are clearly visible in relief and painted, with the "H" in red and the "S" and "R" in yellow. Along the lower edge, the inscription "HOPITAL ST REMY" is visible, written in white capital letters on a white background, highlighting the institutional origin of this advertising badge.

The pin's design is typical of promotional items from the 1980s, with a simple and direct graphic style, designed for quick identification. The handwritten typography and bright colors accentuate the institutional and retro character of the object, while the contrast between yellow, white, and red immediately catches the eye.

The overall appearance is smooth and shiny, characteristic of the enamel used on many advertising pins of that period. The contours are sharp, with slightly rounded corners, and the surface appears well-preserved, with no major visible flaws on the front face.

This advertising badge, originally intended for staff or visitors of Hôpital Saint-Remy, serves as a testament to medical promotional items from the 1980s. It is a representative accessory of the institutional communication of the time, which today finds a place in collections of vintage pins or objects related to the history of French hospitals.

The photo highlights the golden background color, the colorful lettering, and the enamel finish, as well as the quality of the object's manufacturing. No loss of luster, scratches, or missing parts are visible on the photographed side, enhancing the visual appeal of this antique pin.
