Description

Old advertising keyring from the LRM brand, presented here in a bronze-patinated finish. The item consists of a round medal with pronounced relief, featuring the text "LRM CRÉATEUR FABRICANT" (LRM CREATOR MANUFACTURER) in capital letters. Above the inscription, a raised motif evokes a tool or a stylized graphic symbol, characteristic of promotional items from past decades.

The keyring is equipped with a carabiner-type spring clasp, also in an aged bronze finish. The attachment system is articulated, allowing for functional use and easy attachment to a bunch of keys or a belt. The visible links show a robust appearance, typical of well-made promotional keyrings.

The surface of the medal shows a deliberately irregular texture, giving it a strong retro style, with shades of brown and visible traces of wear, probably related to its age. The whole displays a vintage aesthetic, both in terms of typography and the choice of material and the treatment of the patina.

The inscription "CRÉATEUR FABRICANT" (CREATOR MANUFACTURER) emphasizes the authenticity of the item as a period advertising medium, designed to highlight the expertise of the LRM brand. This type of keyring was often distributed as a promotional item at trade shows, professional events, or as part of targeted advertising campaigns.

The photo only shows the main side of the keyring, with no indication of the back or other invisible details. The piece is presented in a white box that enhances its bronze tones and intricate relief.
