Description

Vintage advertising pin featuring a pin-up style illustration of a woman, visible from the front. The female figure has blonde hair styled with a white scarf, green earrings, green gloves, and a blue apron over a light top. Her pose evokes the typical retro advertising iconography of the 80s/90s, particularly in the fast-food industry.

The lower part of the pin features a red rectangle adorned with the Quick logo, clearly identifiable with its stylized white pictogram and the word "Quick" in red letters. The pin's edges have a shiny metallic finish, highlighting the design and the enameled colored areas. The whole piece is characterized by a vibrant and contrasting palette, making it highly visible on a jacket, lapel, or bag.

The visible surface shows no deep scratches or missing enamel. The colors remain vibrant, with a slight sheen on the metallic reliefs, typical of vintage enameled pins. No major defects are observable on the front from the provided image.

This type of accessory was frequently used for the promotion of fast-food chains in the 1990s. This is a Quick pin, an iconic brand in the sector, featuring a stylized female mascot according to retro graphic codes. The smooth finish of the enamel and the sharpness of the logo attest to careful manufacturing, characteristic of advertising pins from this period.

The item is displayed on a flat surface, in full natural light, which highlights the brilliance of the colors and contours. No other elements are visible on the front, apart from the main design and the Quick logo.
