Vintage Pin Caisse d'Épargne Côte d'Azur old enameled advertising logo badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

Old, geometrically shaped advertising pin, featuring a design typical of promotional items from the 1980s-1990s. The visible side offers a colorful composition, dominated by a large vibrant red area on the left, embellished with the stylized logo of Caisse d'Épargne, immediately recognizable by its abstract shape evoking both a squirrel and the letter "E".

On the right side of the pin, a graphic design evokes the French Riviera: a stylized palm tree in relief can be seen, light blue and white horizontal stripes reminiscent of the sea or coastline, and a small yellow disk probably representing the sun. Several raised elements, notably a white area at the base and a yellow motif, add contrast to the whole. The inscription "CÔTE D'AZUR" is clearly visible at the bottom, in golden capital letters on a red background. The acronym "ACPB" appears on the white part, accompanied by graphic details evoking seaside architecture or a stylized urban landscape.

The edge of the pin has a shiny metallic appearance, although the exact material cannot be confirmed (gold-like appearance). The whole has a smooth finish, typical of the colored enamel used for this type of advertising badge. The surface appears to be in good general condition, with no visible chips or major scratches on the presented side.

The graphic style and color palette (red, blue, yellow, white, gold) are characteristic of late 20th-century institutional communication, reinforcing the vintage aspect of the piece.

This pin was originally intended for promotional use by Caisse d'Épargne Côte d'Azur, probably distributed at events or to staff and loyal customers.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side has a beautiful shine, with no apparent structural defects. Some minor signs of wear may remain, normal for a badge of this age.
