Old advertising pin AFM vintage retro green gold badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin featuring the AFM logo, visible on the front. It is a badge with a stylized design, with a shape evoking a raised silhouette or a dynamic symbol, characteristic of association or event logos. The front features a gold background with a central green part and a yellow oval motif, all surmounting the inscription "AFM" in clearly legible black letters on a rectangular base. The whole is highlighted by a glossy finish, emphasizing the retro look of this pin.

The general shape of the pin is vertical and slightly angular, with softened contours. The main motif appears to be applied by enameling or painting on the golden surface. The green used is deep, effectively contrasting with the golden parts and the black inscription. This contrast provides good readability and a marked visual effect, typical of promotional items from the late 20th century.

The object is presented on a dark green velvet support adorned with a silver motif, which highlights the badge and suggests a careful presentation. No other accessories or additional markings are visible in the photo.

The pin shows minimal signs of wear consistent with occasional use: the surface has a uniform sheen and no scratches, chips or missing parts are apparent on the front. The edges appear clean and well-defined.

The typography and visual style correspond to vintage advertising productions, probably from the 1980s or 1990s, without being able to precisely date the object. The inscription "AFM" is typical of associative or charitable campaigns, but only the front is visible here.

Did you know? The advertising pin became popular in France in the 1980s-1990s as a support for associative, event, or commercial campaigns. The AFM (French Association against Myopathies) notably popularized this type of badge during its awareness campaigns and the Téléthon, making these objects emblematic of charitable commitment during this period.
