AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This pin depicts a soccer player in action, wearing a blue and white outfit, emblematic of Olympique de Marseille. The object is cut out in the shape of the player's silhouette, who is shown in motion, one foot on a ball. The base of the pin is green, evoking a field, and bears the inscription "MARSEILLE" in clear capital letters.

The surface of the pin has an enamelled appearance, with golden outlines that highlight the details of the design: hair, face, jersey, shorts, socks, and ball. The overall look has a retro style, typical of the 1980s-1990s, frequently associated with the golden age of sports pins in France.

The finish shows slight irregularities in the application of colors, characteristic of the manufacturing of old pins. The main colors are blue, white, beige (for the skin tone), and green for the base. No details are visible on the back in this photo.

The highly recognizable motif highlights the spirit of Marseille football and the visual identity of OM. This type of pin was often worn on jackets, caps, or bags, especially during important matches or to show support for the club.

The presentation on a white background enhances the sharp outlines and shine of the pin, confirming an enamelled metal type of manufacturing, although the exact material cannot be confirmed without further information.

Condition

Second-hand item sold as is. Some signs of wear or micro-scratches may be present, typical of vintage pins, but the visible side appears to be in good overall condition.
