Description

This old advertising pin has an oval shape, characteristic of vintage sports badges, with a visual centered on a rugby player in action. The scene, in slight relief, shows a stylized silhouette wearing a blue jersey and matching socks, holding a rugby ball. The background of the pin is cream-colored, enhanced with a turquoise border, giving it a retro look typical of advertising objects from past decades.

Around the player, the inscription "RUGBY" in capital letters is visible, placed on the colored border. The other visible letters seem to complete an advertising or association mention, but are not entirely legible. The whole evokes the aesthetic of pins from the 70s to 90s, often distributed at sporting events or as promotional items.

The surface of the pin has a smooth and shiny finish, suggesting an enameling technique, common on this type of badge. The turquoise blue and cream colors, associated with the player's silhouette, give this pin a strong visual identity, ideal for lovers of retro objects related to rugby or sports advertising.

The visible face shows a slight patina, with some micro-scratches and irregularities due to age and handling, without apparent major degradation on the enamel or the pattern. No structural defects are visible on this face.
