Vintage TOTAL advertising pin yellow baby bottle, old 90s badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This promotional pin depicts a stylized yellow baby bottle with the vertical inscription "TOTAL" in prominent red letters on the right side. It is a corporate badge, typical of promotional items distributed by the oil brand TOTAL in the 1990s. The pin is cut to the shape of the baby bottle, with a shiny metallic finish and graphic details evoking the graduations of a baby bottle.

The pin's surface predominantly features a pastel yellow for the baby bottle, highlighted by the contrast of the red lettering against a silver background. The outline of the design is crisp, with the shape of the cap and nipple clearly identifiable. The silver background adds a touch of shine, characteristic of enameled pins from this era.

The badge is displayed on a pale pink fabric, framed by an old gilded frame which is not included in the sale but enhances the object in the photo. No other accessories or inscriptions are visible on this side. The back fastener is not visible in the image.

This type of promotional pin was frequently used in promotional campaigns or as internal communication tools. The design and style of the badge are typical of the late 20th century, a period when brand pins like TOTAL were common in professional and commercial networks.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some light signs of wear may be observed on the shiny surface, with no major apparent defects on the visible side.
