Marlboro J. Alesi 91 pin vintage F1 driver 90s retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description Vintage promotional pin depicting a stylized Formula 1 driver, shown from the front, in a red suit with a white helmet and black visor. The helmet features the inscription "Marlboro" at the top, typical of 1990s motorsport sponsorship. The suit has yellow and white details, with clearly defined colored areas. The entire pin is encircled by a metallic border with a golden or brass-like appearance, with no precise material indicated. The lower part displays "J. ALESI .91" in gold letters on a black background, referring to driver Jean Alesi and the year 1991, a period marked by his participation in Formula 1 under Marlboro's colors.

The pin has a cut-out shape following the driver's silhouette, with an arms-on-hips pose. The main colors are bright red, white, black, and yellow, reflecting the typical aesthetic of promotional pins from the late 80s and early 90s. The enamel finish gives a glossy look to the colored areas. The object stands out clearly against a plain blue background. No details of the reverse are visible in the photo.

There are some slight crazing or wear marks on the enameled surface, mainly on the red suit, indicating use or prolonged storage, without affecting the legibility of the inscriptions or the general integrity of the object. No major chips or significant missing parts are visible on the displayed side.

This promotional pin is part of the tradition of promotional items related to Formula 1 and tobacco sponsorship, common during the 1990s, when Marlboro was a major sponsor of many teams and drivers.

The typography and overall graphics, as well as the choice of colors, strongly evoke the aesthetic of motorsport pins distributed at Grand Prix events or F1-related events in the early 90s.

Condition Used item, sold as is. Slight wear marks visible on the enameled surface. See photo for exact condition.
