Vintage Olympique de Marseille gold pin OM football old rare badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage pin representing Olympique de Marseille, an iconic French football club. This badge features the stylized shape of the initials "OM" in gold letters, with a glossy finish and a blue border visible on the left side of the logo. The upper part features a golden football, surmounted by an embossed inscription: "AUX PORTS PROVENÇOS" (the inscription is accurate, although the last letter is difficult to read in the image). To the right, a silhouette evokes a Marseille landmark, probably Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica, an iconic element associated with the city and the club.

The visible side reveals an alternation of smooth and raised surfaces, typical of pins from the late 20th century. The main colors are gold and turquoise blue, traditional shades of OM. The contours are sharp, the cut faithfully follows the shapes of the logo and the basilica, offering an elegant and distinctive rendering.

The fastening is not visible in the photo; only the front of the pin is shown. No major defects appear on the visible side: homogeneous shine, absence of chips, scratches, or significant missing parts. The visual condition suggests a beautiful state of preservation, with a discreet patina that reinforces the vintage character of the object.

This pin embodies the aesthetic of football fan badges from the 80s-90s, with careful craftsmanship and instantly recognizable graphics. The object is presented on a white background, which highlights its colors and details.
