Vintage tennis round relief racket ball pin? Rare old badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description

This pin has a round shape and features a finely crafted relief design depicting a tennis racket and a ball, both highlighted against a stylized tennis court background. The surface of the pin has a slightly aged metallic appearance, with silvery-grey reflections, enhancing its vintage and antique character. The details of the motif are sharp: the strings of the racket are clearly visible, the ball is textured, and the overall design offers a pleasant three-dimensional effect to the touch and eye.

The edge of the pin is smooth, with no apparent color or enamel, which emphasizes the relief work and the contrast of the surfaces. The object is photographed on a golden-finished, dark fabric case, which accentuates the retro style of the piece, but only the pin is included in this listing. No brand, inscription, or logo is visible on the main face.

The overall aesthetic evokes a classic sporting style, typical of promotional or commemorative items related to tennis, probably produced for an event, club, or award. The design and patina suggest manufacturing from the late 20th century, with no elements allowing for a more precise dating.

The pin stands out for the simplicity of its lines and its emphasis on sport, making it an ideal item as a badge, insignia, or sports-themed fashion accessory. No attachment system is visible in the photo, only the main face is shown here.

Condition

This vintage pin is pre-owned and sold as is. The surface shows a uniform patina and some traces of use, consistent with its age and reinforcing its authenticity.
