Rare vintage retro 80s Bacardi & Coca-Cola advertising pin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Rectangular promotional pin with a distinctly retro style, highlighting the Bacardi and Coca-Cola brands. The visible side has a shiny, smooth finish, with an image printed under a protective surface. The visual shows a bottle of Bacardi and a can of Coca-Cola pouring their contents into a glass full of ice cubes, illustrating the famous Bacardi & Cola cocktail. The logos "BACARDI &" (in black) and "Coca-Cola" (in red, handwritten) are clearly visible on the upper part of the pin.

The graphic composition, typical of 1980s advertising, combines sober colors and a realistic portrayal of the two drinks mixing. The light background highlights the main elements, while the cocktail glass occupies the lower right part of the object. The contrast between the black and red text, as well as the glossy appearance of the surface, accentuates the desired advertising effect.

This pin has a rectangular shape with rounded corners, without additional decorative motifs or apparent relief. The surface reflects light, suggesting an enameled or lacquered appearance, without the precise material being visually identifiable. No additional markings or manufacturing details are visible on the front.

Presented on a red velvet display box (not included unless otherwise stated in the listing), this pin is a characteristic example of vintage advertising objects, often distributed during promotional campaigns or events related to alcoholic beverages and soft drinks in the 1980s.

The overall condition of the visible side shows good brilliance, without any major apparent defects, but small traces of use or micro-scratches may remain, consistent with a second-hand item from that era.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The front has a uniform shine, without any chips or cracks. Slight signs of use are possible, visible only from certain angles.

Did you know? The "Cuba Libre" cocktail, a mix of Bacardi rum and Coca-Cola, became popular in the early 20th century and largely contributed to the association of the two brands in the collective imagination. Advertising pins were very common in the 80s, used by major brands to enhance their visibility during events and partnerships.
