Vintage advertising pin MASI retro cycling geometric blue badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin from the brand MASI, visible on the front face by the inscription "MASI" in capital letters. This badge has an irregular hexagonal shape, with sharp edges and a graphic structure inspired by a geometric perspective pattern, evoking an isometric cube. The pattern, typical of the 1980s-1990s style, consists of dark blue and silver (metallic appearance) surfaces, with well-defined outlines creating the illusion of depth. The whole is designed to catch the eye, reminiscent of retro advertising aesthetics and the world of vintage cycling.

The visible surface shows some signs of wear, including micro-scratches, slight oxidation marks and stains, signs of past use and prolonged storage. The badge has a slightly patinated appearance, reinforcing its vintage character. No major chips are visible on the front face, the edges appear intact, with no major deformation.

The "MASI" lettering is positioned on the lower part of the pattern, clearly legible despite slight alteration marks. The whole is placed on a red textile background, which highlights the contrast of the pin's colors. No other text, logo or additional decoration appears on the visible side.

The finish suggests metal manufacturing with colored enameling (blue and silver), but only the metallic appearance and the surface's brilliance can be confirmed in the absence of information on the exact material. The badge is typical of promotional items distributed at sporting events or by iconic cycling brands, sought after for its retro design and distinctive graphic signature.

This pin is for lovers of old advertising design and souvenirs related to the world of cycling, through its direct association with MASI, a recognized brand in the cycling world. The object is both a vintage fashion accessory and a testimony to the promotional aesthetics of past decades.
