RTM Marseille vintage bus and metro mascot pin, perfect condition, old badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This pin is a promotional creation in the colours of the RTM (Régie des Transports Métropolitains) of Marseille. On the visible side, there is an animated design: two stylized characters, in blue and white, reminiscent of metro trains or tickets, accompanied by a smiling orange bus or tram, on which the inscription "RTM" is clearly visible. The characters have a friendly look, one wearing an orange flower as a hat, reinforcing the playful and retro aspect of the visual. The badge is presented in a transparent plastic bag, which indicates careful preservation.

The colour palette is vibrant: blue, white, orange and red dominate the composition, with sharp black outlines that highlight the details of the drawing. The expressive eyes and smiles accentuate the friendly and advertising spirit typical of 80s-90s promotional items, which the graphic style also suggests.

The pin has an irregular shape, cut out around the characters and the logo, which distinguishes it from classic round or rectangular badges. The inscription "RTM" is clearly legible on the orange part, while the rest of the visual remains perfectly sharp. No defects, scratches or signs of wear are visible on the presented side, and the surface appears clean, shiny, without apparent tarnish.

The motif clearly evokes the world of Marseilles urban transport, and this pin is aimed at anyone who appreciates vintage items related to local history or public transport. The item is presented in its original packaging (plastic bag), which contributes to its excellent state of preservation.

Condition
Used item in perfect visible condition, with no apparent defects on the photographed side. Sold as is, as shown in the photo.
