Vintage advertising keyring old Martin Grande Source bottle retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This old advertising keyring depicts a small miniature bottle, suspended from a metal chain and a classic keyring ring. The bottle is made of translucent material with a frosted appearance, evoking frosted glass. It has a slender shape with a narrow neck and a rounded shoulder, characteristic of mineral water bottles from the mid-20th century. On the central part of the bottle, a slightly patinated paper label bears the black inscription: "GRANDE SOURCE MARTIN", a simple, unadorned typography typical of advertising graphics from the 1950s-1970s.

The bottle features an internal detail visible through the translucent material, suggesting a liquid effect or a decorative inclusion, enhancing the realistic appearance of the miniature. The label shows signs of wear, stains, and an age-related patina, indicative of authentic aging. The attachment ring and chain show a clear metallic finish, with slight oxidation in some areas, characteristic of prolonged use.

The side visible in the photo shows no other logos, patterns, or additional markings. The overall appearance is retro, true to the advertising objects distributed by French mineral water brands in the second half of the 20th century. The compact silhouette of the bottle and the sobriety of the graphics reinforce the vintage dimension of this keyring.

The object's presentation on a white background accentuates the transparency and matte texture of the miniature bottle, highlighting the simplicity and authenticity of the piece. No chips or cracks are visible on the side shown, although traces of use appear on the label and metal.

The object is part of the tradition of utilitarian advertising objects, both decorative and functional, used to promote beverage and mineral water brands.

Condition

Did you know? Bottle-shaped advertising keyrings were very common in France between the 1950s and 1970s, particularly for promoting mineral water, lemonade, or spirits brands. These items were often distributed during commercial operations or by representatives, and remain today emblematic of French retro marketing.
