Vintage Inter Pac truck pin from the 80s - rare advertising badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin features a stylized truck, whose visible side displays a brightly colored advertising design. The vehicle's body is adorned with "INTER PAC" in white capital letters on a light blue background, accompanied by a yellow geometric motif evoking a package or a transport/logistics company logo. The entire scene is rendered in a shiny metallic finish, with light blue and yellow enameled areas, typical of 1980s advertising pins.

The truck's silhouette is well-defined, with visible details such as the cabin, a black front wheel, and a clear separation of the colored parts. The inscription and motif are directly integrated into the vehicle's shape, giving this badge a playful yet professional look. The metallic outline highlights the whole, reinforcing the visual's vintage effect.

The front side is the only one visible in the photo. No details of the reverse, attachment system, or any markings are observable. The pin is presented on a background resembling a jewelry box or case, but only the badge itself is part of the sale.

The colors are well-preserved, with a strong contrast between the light blue, bright yellow, and the metallic appearance of the support. This type of pin was commonly used as a promotional item or corporate badge in the 1980s, particularly in the transport or logistics sectors, which the truck motif here emphasizes.

The manufacturing reveals a slightly grainy texture of the metallic background, characteristic of enameled pins from this period. No chips or major defects are visible on the front side, apart from minor traces of use related to its age.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The front side is in good overall condition, with no apparent enamel chips or significant missing parts, aside from slight traces of oxidation or wear consistent with age.
