Vintage GAN Progrès Hyères 93 Limited Edition Rare Advertising Pin
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This advertising pin features an original semi-circular shape, with a typical 1990s design. On the visible side, the inscription "GAN PROGRES" is clearly distinguishable in capital letters, accompanied by "HYERES 93" in the bottom right, likely indicating a specific event or edition organized in Hyères in 1993. The pin has a golden yellow background with embossed details, including motifs evoking industrial elements or awards (laurel wreath, gears, or stylized trophy), elements frequently used in corporate communication imagery of that era.
The visible surface has a glossy finish, with an enameled or lacquered appearance that catches the light. The inscriptions and motifs are overprinted, with a contrast between the dark blue of the main letters and the golden yellow of the background. The whole is highlighted by a light border that emphasizes the rounded contours of the pin.
The graphic style, sober and functional, is in line with the tradition of French promotional items from the 90s, often distributed during seminars, corporate events, or internal communication campaigns. The item stands out for its visual condition: no scratches or major defects are observable in the provided photo, with the shine and luster of the surface well-preserved.
The pin is placed on a red textile case with golden floral motifs, which is not included in the offer but enhances the piece by contrasting colors and textures. No other accessories or elements are visible in the image.
The back, attachment system, or any additional markings are not visible in the photo, and therefore not described here in accordance with strict observation rules.
Condition
Used item, sold as is. The visible side has a beautiful sheen, with no apparent defects.
