Vintage Sport Hyères 1893-1993 limited edition pin, striped blue and white sailor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Limited edition commemorative advertising pin, celebrating the centenary "Sport Hyères 1893-1993". The piece features in relief a stylized sailor figure, with crossed arms, wearing a blue and white striped jersey and round glasses. The entire visual is treated with colored enamel on a gold-looking base, with a crisp outline and finely chiseled details on the front.

The main motif, in a standing position, rests on a decorative cartouche where "1893-1993 SPORT HYÈRES" is inscribed in raised letters. The lettering is clearly legible, with the word "HYÈRES" highlighted by a vivid blue background, which accentuates its readability and commemorative effect. The overall design is enhanced by a contrast of colors between blue, white, and golden touches.

The surface finish provides a characteristic sheen, typical of enameled pins from the 1990s. No defects, chips, or noticeable scratches are visible on the front. The presentation on an openwork burgundy case, placed on a light tablecloth, contributes to the elegance of the object, although this case is not explicitly included.

This pin stands out for its humorous silhouette and its reference to the sporting history of the city of Hyères, paying homage to a century-old local tradition. Its elongated shape, maritime decor, and dated inscription confirm its positioning as a commemorative and promotional item typical of the late 20th century.

The vibrant colors and quality of the graphics make it an ideal badge for display on a jacket, a bag, or in a display case dedicated to sports memorabilia or French maritime themes.

Condition: Used item, sold as is. Front in very good visual condition, with no apparent defects.
