AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This advertising pin has a vertical rectangular shape, with a main face adorned with a distinctive graphic motif. The design features a stylized representation of a tree, divided into two contrasting color zones: brown and green, separated by a golden vertical line. The upper part of the pin is occupied by this graphic, while the lower part displays the inscription "CROISÉES INTER," with the word "INTER" in green and "CROISÉES" in gold on a white background.

The visible finish is glossy, reminiscent of classic enameling used on advertising pins from the 1980s-1990s. The outline of the pin as well as the internal separations are highlighted by a thin golden border, reinforcing the retro look of the object. The white background around the inscription enhances the readability of the text and the balance of the central motif.

The entire pin rests on a red triangular support visible on the side, probably used for presentation during the photoshoot. No additional markings or details are observable on the other sides, which are not visible in the provided photo.

The graphic style, color choices, and inscription suggest a typical design from late 20th-century advertising. The use of the tree motif and typography are characteristic of institutional or environmental campaigns of that period. This vintage advertising pin stands out for its retro appearance, glossy finish, and unique logo.
