Vintage MAXIMAD La Madeleine d'Armor enamel advertising pin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage advertising pin features a stylized shape reminiscent of a madeleine, directly referencing the Breton specialty. On the visible side, the pin displays a visual with dominant yellow and red colors, with a glossy finish evoking enamel. The inscription "MAXIMAD" appears in the upper left, while the mention "la madeleine d'armor" is legible at the bottom, in red font on a light background.

Its manufacturing recalls promotional items from the 90s, with a curved and smooth surface typical of enamel pins from that era. The contours are sharp, with a cut true to the silhouette of a madeleine, enhancing the gourmet and identifiable aspect of the object. The print is clear and well-centered, with no apparent smudging on the visible part.

The color palette, associated with the typography and graphics, emphasizes the retro aspect and the advertising purpose of the pin. The object is designed to catch the eye, whether on clothing, a bag, or for display in a thematic showcase on gastronomy or regional products.

The upper part of the visual shows slight traces of wear or micro-scratches, signs of previous use or prolonged storage, without altering the readability of the inscriptions. No major chips, deformation, or missing parts are visible on the side shown in the photo.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Discreet traces of wear on the upper surface, overall satisfactory appearance for a vintage advertising pin.
