AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin from the Saint Gobain Vitrage brand, presented here in the form of a stylized magnifying glass. The visible side features an enamel decoration in pale yellow, green, and black, with a central inscription "Saint Gobain Vitrage" in perfectly legible black letters. The outline of the pin and the handle have a shiny metallic appearance, typical of late 20th-century promotional productions.

The design, both simple and evocative, highlights the function of glazing through the representation of a magnifying glass, a symbol of transparency and quality. The enameled finish gives a smooth and shiny appearance, with reflections specific to this type of manufacturing.

The piece is photographed on a burgundy velvet background, accompanied by a few decorative green and blue cabochons, which highlights its shape and colors. No details of the back or the fastening system are visible in the photo.

The visible surface shows some slight signs of use around the metallic edge, attesting to its vintage authenticity. The enamel remains in good general condition, without apparent chips or cracks on the illustrated part.

This pin is part of the tradition of corporate promotional items from the 80s, both a communication object and a fashion accessory at the time. Its original shape makes it an interesting example among French advertising pins.
