Vintage ARDGC PACA pin, golden green tree, retro old badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This vintage pin features a stylized tree motif, clearly visible on the front. The overall shape evokes a tree silhouette, with its crown made up of an irregular polygon, predominantly green, surrounded by a bright golden border. On the right side of the crown, seven golden heart-shaped elements form an original decorative detail, adding a distinctive graphic dimension to the whole. The tree trunk is highlighted by a brown band, extending to a rectangular base also encircled in gold.

The base of the pin features an embossed inscription, perfectly legible in the photo: "ARDGC PACA". The letters appear in gold on a contrasting background, which makes them easy to read. The entire pin has a smooth and shiny finish, with characteristic reflections of enamel or varnish on metal, typical of promotional or associative items from the 80s-90s.

The item is presented on a bright yellow support, which is clearly not attached to the pin but highlights the piece. The contrast between the deep green of the tree, the golden hearts, and the yellow base accentuates the retro look of this badge. No attachment system is visible in this view, in accordance with the instructions, and only the front is described here.

This pin displays a clean graphic style, recognizable in French associative productions from the late 20th century. The use of gold and bold colors, as well as the highlighting of the name "ARDGC PACA", suggests it was created for a regional event or a specific organization in the PACA (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur) region.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The front shows a uniform shine; some micro-scratches or signs of use may be observed from certain angles, but no major apparent defects in the photo.

Did you know? Pins were very popular in France in the late 1980s and early 1990s, used as both advertising support and a marker of belonging to a club, association, or regional event. Pins featuring associative inscriptions or logos have become witnesses to the local and associative history of this period.
