Vintage advertising pin Toulon limited edition blue sun

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Period advertising pin, representing the city of Toulon. The visible side features a stylized geometric design: a vertical blue rectangle, evoking the sea or coastline, topped on the right by a yellow circle representing the sun. A stylized green wave crosses the lower part, reinforcing the maritime evocation. The inscription "TOULON" appears in blue capital letters on a light background, perfectly legible at the bottom of the visible side.

The overall appearance features vibrant and contrasting colors (blue, yellow, green, white), typical of advertising creations from the 1980s-1990s. The pin's surface has a smooth and shiny appearance, suggesting enameling or a lacquered finish, without being able to confirm the precise material in the absence of an indication in the keywords.

The pin is presented on a blue velvet support, which is only visible on the front. This support highlights the object and could be original or added for presentation. No additional markings or logos are visible on the exposed part, apart from the main motif.

The overall condition is very satisfactory on the visible side: no snags, discoloration, or enamel or surface defects noted in the photo. The contours are sharp, the colors well preserved, and the "TOULON" inscription perfectly intact.

This limited edition advertising pin combines graphic aesthetics and local identity, typical of promotional items distributed during events, fairs, or tourist campaigns in the south of France.

Condition
Used item sold as is. Very good appearance on the visible side, without any major apparent defects.

Did you know? The advertising pin reached its peak in France from the 1980s onwards, becoming a privileged medium for tourist and event promotion. The city of Toulon, located on the Mediterranean coast, often used sun and maritime motifs to enhance its image through souvenir items like this one.
