The front of the vehicle emits a spray of red flowers, adding a playful touch to the composition. Under the car, a rectangular base features the inscription \"j'aime\" (I love), with the red Shell logo replacing the dot on the \"j\", an emblematic detail of 1980s-1990s oil communication campaigns. The lettering is in relief and accentuated by a dark finish contrasting with the patinated metal base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface of the pin has a glossy enameled finish, characteristic of promotional items from that period. The outline of the pin, as well as the separations between the colored areas, are in relief, highlighting the design of the car and the graphic elements. The piece has a compact overall shape, with rounded edges and an instantly recognizable silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe item is presented in a white lace-lined box, which is not included in the sale but enhances the brilliance of the enamel and the quality of manufacturing. No information is visible on the back or on the edges of the pin in this photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe naive graphic style and vibrant colors are typical of automotive advertising items from the late 20th century in France, particularly associated with communication campaigns from fuel brands such as ELF and Shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible inscriptions are perfectly legible: \"j'aime\" with the Shell logo, with no other text apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is. The front shows some slight traces of wear and patina, mainly on the metal area surrounding the inscription, consistent with old use. The colored enamel appears well preserved, with no visible chips in the photo. An ideal piece to complete a series of advertising or automotive pins from the 80s-90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDid you know?\u003c\/b\u003e \nPins were very popular in France in the late 1980s and early 1990s, becoming a preferred communication medium for many companies, especially in the automotive and energy sectors. Joint campaigns between ELF and Shell, then competitors, were rare; this type of pin testifies to special operations or one-off partnerships in the oil sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping with tracking number.
