AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage advertising pin depicting a stylized baker, shown front-on, holding a large baguette in front of him. The character is wearing a light-colored outfit with a buttoned collar and a baker's hat, in cream and beige tones. The outlines of the pin are highlighted by a shiny golden finish, which adds a luminous touch to the whole.

The inscription "LE MOULIN St JUST" is clearly legible on the lower part, against a light background. The entire scene is rendered in a simple graphic style, typical of advertising pins from the 1980s-1990s. The background decor is not represented, highlighting the figure of the baker and the brand.

The visible surface has an enameled, smooth and shiny appearance, with black details to highlight the facial features and the baguette. The lower part of the pin reveals another inscription in relief, partially obscured by the light in the photo, but which seems to refer to the bakery or the brand.

The pin is placed on a carved wooden furniture, which allows to appreciate the clean cut of its contours and its compact format, typical of promotional badges distributed in the bakery sector or during local events in Marseille.

This pin combines the uses of a badge, a retro advertising object, and a local souvenir. It stands out for its soft colors and naive style, true to the aesthetic of French promotional items from the late 20th century.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some signs of wear are visible on the golden edges, consistent with an antique object. The visible enamel appears well preserved, with no apparent chips on the photographed side.

Did you know? Advertising pins peaked in France in the 1980s and 1990s, particularly during promotional events and local campaigns. The Saint-Just district in Marseille is historically linked to the baking tradition, and many artisans spread their brands through advertising objects like this one.
