AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This old advertising keyring is a miniature reproduction of a "Le Saint Benoît" cheese box. The visible side features a round design predominantly in red and cream, with the central inscription "Le Saint Benoît" in stylized letters, topped by the mention "Une spécialité 60% M.G." (A 60% fat content specialty) and the word "Pasteurisée" (Pasteurized) at the bottom. A coat of arms adorned with fleur-de-lys and an anchor completes the graphics, typical of French cheese imagery from the mid-20th century.

The keyring has a smooth finish, with an ivory or off-white appearance on the visible edge. The decorative part is connected to a link chain and a metal split ring, typical of advertising keyrings from the 60s and 70s. The advertising print is clear, with well-preserved colors, suggesting good preservation of the original visual.

The keyring's round shape evokes a small cheese box, faithful to the codes of food advertising objects from that era. The typography and graphic style, as well as the mention "60% M.G.", correspond to the retro aesthetic typical of the 1960s. No other elements or text are visible on the presented side.

This type of advertising keyring was often offered by food product brands to promote their specialties to the general public. The object thus combines a utilitarian function and decorative interest, while bearing witness to the history of French food advertising.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. Some traces of wear and micro-scratches are visible on the surface, consistent with the age and use of the keyring. The print remains legible, and the mechanical structure of the ring appears functional on the displayed side.

Did you know? The "Saint Benoît" cheese was one of many brands to use promotional items in the 1960s-70s, a period when keyrings were true mass communication tools in France, often produced in limited series to build customer loyalty.
