Vintage SC Toulon blue enamel football pin, rare old badge
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This antique pin features the emblem of Sporting Club de Toulon, an iconic football club. It boasts a stylized shape evoking a seahorse head, the historic symbol of the Toulon team. The visible side has a smooth, predominantly light blue finish, with gold outlines and details highlighting the features of the design. At the bottom of the pin, the inscription "S.C. TOULON" is clearly legible, embedded in the front part.
The surface of the object reveals a shiny enameled texture, typical of pins produced between the 1980s and 1990s, with some signs of wear and slight color loss visible in places, particularly around the edge. The shades of blue vary slightly depending on the light, reinforcing the authentic and vintage character of the piece. The graphic details, such as the gold lines and stylized elements of the logo, offer excellent readability and a distinct decorative effect.
The visible part shows no apparent mechanism, in line with the classic presentation of sports club pins from that period. The back is not visible in the photo, so it is not possible to describe the attachment system or the possible presence of a manufacturer's mark. The pin is presented on a pink velvet background, framed by a golden decorative element, which highlights its retro appearance and its character as a commemorative badge.
This pin stands out for its unique shape and vibrant color, characteristic of promotional items from French football clubs of the late 20th century. It is aimed at those looking for an authentic piece, ideal for completing a display case of sports memorabilia or for wearing on clothing during SC Toulon-related events.
The visible inscriptions, notably "S.C. TOULON", attest to the badge's origin and allow for immediate identification by connoisseurs of French football. The overall piece retains a good presence despite the small defects of use, typical of old items that have actually been used.
