Old Martigues Municipal Office retro vintage red advertising keychain

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old promotional keyring, with a square shape and rounded corners. The item is bright red, with a smooth finish and visible stitching in light thread all around the edge, enhancing its retro look. On the visible side, there is a clear gold print, illustrating a stylized coat of arms of the city of Martigues, accompanied by two keys and a tower, as well as the inscription in capital letters "OFFICE MUNICIPAL DES SPORTS MARTIGUES".

The keyring is equipped with a classic golden metal attachment, fixed to a small tab extended on the top of the item. The finish of the stitching and the quality of the gold print testify to careful advertising work, typical of local productions from past decades.

The graphics, choice of colors, and gold typography evoke a 1960s to 1980s advertising style, common for municipal promotional items of that era. The visual aspect suggests a synthetic or faux leather material, but only the smooth red appearance and the stitching are certain from the image.

The visible side does not show any major apparent defects: the surface shows a slight sheen, with no obvious scratches or stains. The gold print remains clearly legible, without fading. The metal attachment appears to be original, with a slight patina from use.

This type of promotional keyring was often given out at sporting events or by municipal institutions to promote their activities, and remains sought after for its retro authenticity and its direct link to the local history of Martigues.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some signs of use and a slight patina are visible on the metal attachment, while the main face maintains good readability and a very satisfactory overall appearance.
