The object has a visible side decorated with a stylized drawing: a blue and white bus in the foreground, topped by a yellow background evoking a sun, accompanied by white seagulls and the silhouette of Notre-Dame de la Garde, a Marseille symbol, in the background. The mention \"HISTOBUS\" appears in gold capital letters on a white band underlined in blue, with blue chevrons in the bottom right. The outlines are highlighted by a shiny gold line. The pin has a cut-out shape that follows the design, without a classic rectangular background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface has a smooth enameled appearance, with bold colors: yellow, blue, white, and gold. The enamel appears well-preserved, with a uniform shine under light. The motif is clear and legible, with no apparent major defects on the front. The overall look evokes the graphic style of the 1990s, common for this type of regional promotional pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis pin is designed to highlight events or historical tours related to Marseille public transport. The illustration emphasizes local identity through emblematic elements of the city and the RTM network.

The compact shape and precise cut suggest careful manufacturing, typical of enameled advertising pins from the late 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire visible side shows no major damage: the enamel shows no chips or noticeable scratches. Only slight superficial wear due to age can be observed, without altering the legibility or colors of the motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
