Vintage red and blue sailboat pin + old retro Sébastien name badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This lot combines two distinct items, visible in the photo: a figurative pin depicting a stylized sailboat, and a name badge adorned with the handwritten inscription "Sébastien". The pin features a sailboat shape with a stylized hull and two-tone sails in vivid red and blue hues, contrasting with a central metallic-looking structure. The boat's silhouette is enhanced by openwork cutouts, evoking the movement of the sails and mast structure. The colors are applied in glossy solid areas, typical of the enameled finishes seen on this type of promotional item from the 80s-90s.

The oval-shaped name badge has a white background with a dark border around the edge. The inscription "Sébastien" is clearly legible, executed in a black handwritten font. The slightly domed appearance of the badge and the strong contrast between the text and the background enhance its readability and retro style.

The set is presented on a black velvet display, which highlights the relief and brilliance of both objects. The two items appear independent, with no visible attachment between them on the displayed side. The sailboat pin evokes advertising or event creations distributed during nautical events, while the name badge falls within the tradition of personalized identification badges from past decades.

The finish of the sailboat reveals a metallic appearance under the colored enamel, with textured details on the hull and mast. No logo or brand is visible on the front. The edges of the name badge show a slight patina, consistent with prior use.

This duo offers a retro aesthetic, typical of promotional items or souvenirs distributed in France during events or as part of family or associative promotional campaigns. The combination of bright colors and the handwritten first name evokes the convivial atmosphere of those periods.
