Vintage TOTALGAZ Dog Mascot Yellow Pin, Old Advertising Badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This promotional pin features an iconic TOTALGAZ brand design. The visible side shows a stylized yellow dog, drawn in a childlike style, accompanied by a gas cylinder or bottle. The character is positioned in front of a circular background with a shiny metallic finish. The base of the pin displays the inscription "TOTALGAZ" in red capital letters, perfectly legible on a light background.

The pin's surface combines a polished metallic effect and enameled areas in yellow, red, and cream. The contours of the design are crisp, and the dog's details (red collar, snout, paws) are well-defined. The overall impression evokes the advertising style of the 1980s-1990s, a period when mascots were commonly used in the communication of major French energy companies.

The relief of the design, the brilliance of the finish, and the vibrant color palette give this badge a distinctive retro character. The item is presented on an old display case-type support, but only the front of the pin is visible in the photo. No additional markings, numbers, or manufacturer mentions appear on the visible part.

This pin stands out for its playful representation and typical use in institutional communication: it is a badge to attach to clothing, a bag, or an accessory, highly sought after for its vintage appearance and its connection to the history of the TOTALGAZ brand.

The piece shows some light signs of wear on the edges and surface, including small marks on the metallic parts and a slight patina, typical of an old promotional item that has been circulated.

Condition
