Vintage Pin La Seyne sur Mer 80s advertising retro old badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin representing the city of "La Seyne sur Mer". This pin features an original cut-out shape, reproducing the stylized contour of the lettering and graphic elements. The design highlights an inscription in upper and lower case letters: "La Seyne sur Mer", with a graphic play on the word "Seyne" in a dominant size. The visible side presents a white background, enhanced with pastel colored lines (pink, green, yellow and blue) suggesting a stylized landscape, probably an evocation of the sun, sea and hills, typical of 1980s advertising creations.

The surface of the pin has a smooth and shiny finish, suggesting an enamel or resin work on a metallic support, although it is not possible to precisely identify the material without additional indication. The colors are clear and well-defined, with a slightly raised effect around the motifs. The whole is highlighted by a light border that underlines the sinuous contour of the piece.

The pin is presented on a rectangular case covered with a burgundy velvet-like fabric, which is not included in the sale unless otherwise stated. No manufacturer's logo or brand mention is visible on the front. The inscription is perfectly legible and the graphic style fully corresponds to the retro trend and visual codes of advertising objects from the late 20th century.

This type of pin, often distributed at municipal events, tourist campaigns or as a local promotional item, is distinguished by its typical 80s aesthetic: rounded lines, pastel palette and playful typography. The object has a marked decorative aspect, suitable for display on a textile support or in a souvenir display case.

No significant wear, scratches or chips are visible on the front. The surface appears to be in good overall condition, with no notable defects in the provided photo. The contours appear sharp, with no visible signs of oxidation or tarnishing.
