Vintage French advertising alcohol bottle keychains old lot

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot brings together several old advertising keychains, all in the shape of liquor bottles, as seen in the photo. Each keychain represents a stylized bottle, in various colors: red, orange, dark green, amber yellow, translucent or opaque, some with marbled effects. The fasteners are metal rings, with some examples also featuring an integrated flat bottle opener. One model has a partially legible label (mentioning "OLIV…"), typical of French alcohol or aperitif advertisements from the mid-20th century.

The bottles come in diverse shapes: long neck, pronounced shoulder, shorter or elongated formats. These miniatures are made of tinted or translucent plastic, with a shiny or slightly patinated appearance depending on the example. The variations in tint and transparency contribute to the graphic appeal of the set, evoking the colors of spirits, wines, or sodas emblematic of vintage French advertising.

Some keychains show signs of wear, superficial scratches, small surface imperfections or label residues, attesting to their past use. The visible rings and fastening systems are made of metal with a gilded finish, with patina and oxidation marks on some elements. The set evokes the advertising style of the 60s-70s, a period when these objects were commonly distributed by alcohol brands in France.

One of the keychains stands out with its round spiral shape, in an ivory hue, while another features a deep bottle green. The flat metal bottle openers complete the set and reinforce the utilitarian aspect of these objects.

The presentation on a light background, framed by a sculpted frame, highlights the diversity of colors and the decorative aspect of these old advertising keychains. Each piece is unique due to its hue, shape, and any original advertising inscriptions.
