12mm(width)×16mm(length) SIMCA was founded in 1934 by Henri Theodore Pigozzi from Turin, Italy.
SIMCA stands for Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile, and began as a Fiat dealership in France.
The first FIAT 500, known as the Topolino, was produced under the name Simca 5 (Cinq) and became a huge success.
The 1100 debuted as the Simca 8 (Huit), and SIMCA became France's fourth-largest manufacturer.
This is a lapel pin made in the 1950s, during SIMCA's heyday.
Most existing SIMCA badges are painted or enamel, but this is an extremely rare cloisonné type.
This is a rare SIMCA item, so especially valuable, it's not to be missed.
