Vintage APCLD Plit pin retro gold tree logo 80s-90s

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old pin featuring the logo of the APCLD association, visible in large white letters on the main face. This pin features a typical 80s-90s design, with a semi-circular shape and a shiny golden finish over the entire visible surface. The granulated golden background highlights a stylized motif representing a brick-red tree trunk accompanied by a green leaf with visible veins, emphasizing the association's environmental commitment.

The lower part of the pin, in relief, bears the inscription "des Plit" in red letters on a gold background, adding a distinctive touch. The entire visual is outlined by a gold border that frames the pin, reinforcing its retro and elegant appearance. The "APCLD" lettering is enhanced with an opaque white enamel, ensuring good readability and a marked contrast with the golden base.

The overall shape of the pin is compact, with rounded edges on the upper part and a slightly protruding rectangular base. The golden finish, combined with bright enameled colors (green, red, white), gives the object a sober yet striking appearance. This type of pin was commonly used by associations, companies, or events in the 1980s-1990s, both for communication and for group affiliation.

The visible surface of the pin shows no major defects, although a slight age-related patina may be noticeable from certain angles, which is common for this type of old object. No chips or deep scratches appear on the presented face. The back is not visible in the photo and is therefore not described here.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible face shows good shine, with slight signs of wear consistent with past use.

Did you know? Personalized pins, very popular in France in the 80s and 90s, were frequently used in associative communication campaigns or public events. They were mass-produced, often in gilded and cold-enameled metal, a technique that allowed for vivid colors and precise patterns at a lower cost.
