Vintage PTS Dreux retro pin, two red hearts, commemorative badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pin has a rectangular shape with rounded corners, characteristic of commemorative badges from the 80s and 90s. The visible side is adorned with a white background, framed by a gold border. Two stylized red hearts stand out in the center, one partially superimposed on the other, adding a strong and evocative graphic touch. In the bottom left, the inscription "PTS DREUX" is clearly legible, printed in red in a simple, unadorned typography, typical of promotional or associative items from this period.

The pin's surface has a smooth appearance, likely protected by a layer of enamel or resin, which gives it a visible shine under light. The contrast between the bright red of the hearts and the white background immediately catches the eye, while the gold border adds an elegant and timeless touch.

The two-heart motif suggests a message of solidarity or commitment, often used during commemorative events, associations, or local campaigns. The inscription "PTS DREUX" indicates a link to the city of Dreux, without further details on the event or organization, which reinforces the retro and localized aspect of the badge.

The pin is presented on a white display case, highlighting its brilliance and the sharpness of its colors. The gold edge shows some light marks, indicating prior use, but the front remains clear and without major apparent defects in the photo.
