AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin depicts an official Lions Club badge, Brioude section in France, clearly identified by the inscriptions "LIONS CLUB", "LIONS INTERNATIONAL", and "BRIOUDE FRANCE" visible on the front. The object has an oval shape, with a silver outline and an enameled surface in vivid colors: a yellow background, a central blue circular logo with the letter "L" in silver, and a black architectural silhouette evoking an emblematic building in Brioude.

The visual highlights the historical Lions Club logo, with a stylized lion's head on the left, surrounding the inscription "LIONS INTERNATIONAL". The mention "FUND RAISING ACTIVITY" also appears on the front, specifying the associative purpose of this pin, likely produced for an event or local fundraiser.

The vibrant yellow enamel contrasts elegantly with the deep blue of the central logo and the black details of the architectural motif. The silver embossed inscriptions are clear and easily readable, while the drawing of the church or monument adds a local touch specific to Brioude.

The pin's finish reveals a shiny surface typical of enameled manufacturing, with precise contours and a clear demarcation between the different colored areas. No major defects are visible on the exposed side: no chips, scratches, or significant enamel loss.

This type of enameled badge, often produced in the 1980s-1990s for local Lions Club sections, is distinguished by its meticulous design and customization by city. The object is presented here on a wooden stand, not included in the sale, which highlights its commemorative and retro aspect.

Condition
