AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This advertising pin highlights the brand "Marius Ferrat", specializing in power gardening equipment, with the distinctive slogan "Fleurit la vie" (Makes life blossom). The object has an original shape, mirroring the contours of a stylized chainsaw, a central visual element on the right, accompanied by the inscription "MOTOCULTURE" (POWER GARDENING) in red letters on a gold background, "Marius Ferrat" in green, and "FLEURIT LA VIE" in bright red at the bottom. The design, typical of promotional pins from the late 20th century, is distinguished by its shiny enameled appearance and vibrant colors, dominated by golden yellow, green, and red.

The visible front face reveals a smooth and shiny finish, suggesting an enameling technique on metal, although this cannot be formally confirmed without explicit indication in the keywords. The chainsaw motif is finely detailed, with a schematic representation of the engine and handle, highlighted by crisp outlines. The entire pin is bordered by a visible metal rim, accentuating the quality of manufacture typical of advertising pins from the 1980s-1990s.

The text and graphics are clear and perfectly legible on the front face. This type of pin was commonly used as a promotional item or corporate gift in the agricultural or power gardening sector. The overall condition, visible in the photo, shows a beautiful shine and the absence of chips or major defects on the enameled surface.

The piece displayed here retains a retro and authentic aesthetic, ideal for collectors of advertising souvenirs, vintage objects, or agricultural themes. Its irregular shape and vibrant color palette make it an easily noticeable decorative object with a strong visual identity. No other accessories are visible in the photo.

The inscriptions on the front face are:
– "MOTOCULTURE"
– "Marius Ferrat"
– "FLEURIT LA VIE"

Used item, sold as is. The front face shows a beautiful shine and no major defects are visible on the surface.
