AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old pin depicting a bust of a football player, inspired by Olympique de Marseille (OM). This pin features a polychrome enamel finish on a gold outline, with a retro design characteristic of the 1990s. The character wears a white jersey adorned with the inscription "REST" on the chest, highlighted by a stylized yellow rose on the left shoulder, and blue shorts with the name "TONY" in gold letters. The sleeves feature light blue details, evoking the style of the Marseille club.

The player's silhouette, with crossed arms, is stylized, with simplified facial features and black hair. The whole is outlined in gold, providing a strong contrast with the vibrant colors of the enamel. The pin has a cut-out shape following the outline of the bust, with no visible background.

The visible side shows no manufacturer's mark or additional inscription, apart from those on the jersey. The enamel has a smooth and shiny appearance, typical of late 20th-century productions. This type of badge was frequently produced for football clubs and their supporters in the 80s and 90s.

The motif and color palette clearly evoke the visual identity of Olympique de Marseille, with the predominance of white and blue, as well as the use of gold details to highlight the whole. The first name "TONY" suggests a reference to a popular player or figure of the time within the club.

This pin is presented on a light fabric backing, allowing the entire front face to be appreciated. No clasp or marking is visible in this photo.
