Vintage Transat Cup Badge – Compagnie Générale Transatlantique – Bronze Decat

Antique badge in patinated gilt bronze, issued for the Transatlantic Cup by the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique. This 38mm circular sports badge, crafted from bronze with a gilt patina, depicts a mountain landscape with a skier crossing a finish line in low relief. The badge is signed “Decat Paris” on the reverse, a Parisian manufacturer renowned for its high-quality products in the early 20th century.
The reverse is intentionally utilitarian, designed for wearing, and retains its original, fully functional pin with an intact fastening system.
In excellent condition, without damage, with a uniform patina and a perfectly legible image.
This item is interesting due to its dual theme of sport and major shipping company, reflecting the prestige and public relations efforts of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique surrounding sporting events.
