Vintage advertising keyring, retro collectible decorative item

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This antique, advertising-style keychain features a classic shield shape, commonly used in the 60s and 70s for promotional items. The visible side displays a slightly textured, dark red surface, with partially faded black print marks, suggesting an original advertising motif or logo, now difficult to read. The visible patina and wear enhance the retro and authentic character of this item.

The keychain is equipped with a wide-opening metal ring, of the carabiner type, attached by a short chain. The finish of the ring has a silvery metallic appearance, with no precise material indication, in accordance with observation rules.

The shield has rounded edges and a regular cut, typical of industrial production of promotional keychains from the second half of the 20th century. The surface shows some signs of use, including scuffing and areas where the original color or motif has faded.

The item is presented in a bright red display case, which is not included in the sale but highlights the piece. No distinct markings or legible text are visible on the displayed side of the keychain. The overall style evokes vintage aesthetics, with a retro touch characteristic of old advertising objects.

Condition
