Vintage Pin - Blue Tariffs Gan Enameled Car Ad Rare

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin visible in the photo, free-form, depicting a stylized car associated with a rectangular plate bearing the inscription "TARIFS BLEUS DU GAN" in blue capital letters on a cream background. The item features a typical composition of French promotional pins from the 1980s-1990s, with a car illustration on the left (blue and yellow, black details) and a text part on the right, separated by a thin dark outline. The whole has a shiny enamelled appearance, characteristic of pin manufacturing of that period.

The design highlights a car viewed from a three-quarter front angle, treated in a simple graphic style, with clearly drawn bumpers, headlights and wheels. The text part occupies the right half of the pin, legible and well-centred. The lettering and background show slight traces of wear visible on the surface, without altering the readability or visual appeal of the item.

The back of the pin is not visible in the photo, but the presence of a classic metal pin attachment system is suggested by the general shape and the visible elevation at the top of the item. The overall finish shows some small signs of use and a slight patina, typical of a vintage pin that has been handled or displayed.

This pin is a representative example of promotional items distributed by French insurance companies such as GAN, here for the "Tarifs Bleus" campaign, probably intended to promote car insurance offers. The blue and yellow colours, associated with the GAN brand, reinforce the visual identity of the item.

The visible face shows no major chips or deformations, and the graphic details remain clear. This type of pin was often offered at trade shows, communication campaigns or partner events in the automotive and insurance sectors.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Traces of wear and patina visible on the surface. The inscription and illustration remain clearly legible. The fastening on the back is not visible in the photo.

Did you know? GAN (Groupement des Assurances Nationales) was one of the major French insurance companies, very active in communication through promotional items in the 1980s and 1990s. The "Tarifs Bleus" campaigns specifically targeted car insurance offers, and many pins bearing the brand's image were distributed at trade shows or when car insurance policies were issued.
