AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This listing is for a vintage phone card, known as a "télécarte," issued for the Musée des Télécommunications de Pleumeur Bodou. The visible side features a colorful visual showing the iconic spherical radome of the site, against a cloudy sky, accompanied by several white parabolic antennas in the background. In the upper right, the mention "TÉLÉCARTE 50" indicates a capacity of 50 units, typical of French editions from the 1980s-1990s. The golden chip on the left confirms the electronic memory format, very common for France Télécom cards of this period.

The blue and white design highlights the futuristic architecture of the radome, a symbol of the history of telecommunications in France. The inscription "MUSÉE DES TÉLÉCOMMUNICATIONS DE PLEUMEUR BODOU" appears in white letters on a dark background, ensuring perfect readability. There is also a stylized logo at the bottom left, characteristic of institutional or commemorative editions.

The surface of the télécarte, clearly visible in the photo, has a smooth and shiny appearance without any major apparent defects. The corners are rounded, in accordance with the standard for chip cards of the time. No other markings, serial number, or date are visible on this side.

This vintage télécarte is a true testament to French telephone heritage, combining historical value with retro aesthetics. It is sought after for its representation of the famous radome and its direct link to the history of spatial communications in Brittany.

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows no deep scratches or significant signs of wear in the photo. Some slight micro-traces of use may be present, without affecting the readability of the inscriptions or the overall visual quality.
