Vintage B.T.P. Marius Ferrat pin - rare advertising badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This corporate pin features a cut-out shape evoking a stylized industrial landscape, typical of promotional items from the 1980s-1990s. On the visible side, there is a colorful graphic motif composed of green and yellow geometric volumes, likely representing elements related to the construction and public works (B.T.P.) sector. The whole is enhanced with a shiny trim around the edge, giving the item a luminous appearance from certain angles.

The pin displays the inscription "B.T.P." in red letters, surmounted by a tower and several cylindrical shapes, while the base features the mention "Marius Ferrat" in green on a gold background. The typography used, as well as the bold color palette (green, yellow, red), are characteristic of the visual communication of industrial companies from the late 20th century.

The front face reveals a glossy finish, probably covered with a resin or a transparent varnish, which protects the illustration and gives it a slightly domed appearance. The golden background visible on the periphery suggests a metallic-looking support, although the exact material cannot be specified without additional information.

The object shows a clean cut and careful manufacturing, with well-defined details in the design and inscriptions. No major defects are visible on the front face, apart from some slight traces of use on the edge, typical of a used item.

This advertising pin is a representative example of promotional items distributed by B.T.P. companies in the 80s-90s, intended to promote their brand to partners or employees.

Condition
