AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising keyring in the shape of a miniature wine bottle, typical of French promotional items from the mid-20th century. The item features a faithful reproduction of a wine bottle, with a slender translucent burgundy body and a narrow neck. A paper label, partially patinated by time, is affixed to the central part. The inscription “CASEL FRERES” is visible in blue, accompanied by other advertising mentions, although some characters have become illegible due to wear.

The keyring is equipped with a silver-finished metal ring, connected to a small link attached to the bottle's neck. The attachment ring has a classic flat shape, commonly used on promotional items from the 60s and 70s. The bottle's surface appears shiny, suggesting tinted plastic or colored resin, though the exact material cannot be specified without mention in the keywords.

The visible side shows careful detail of the simulated wine inside, enhancing the miniature's realistic effect. The label also bears the mention “J. CASEL - LUNEL (Hérault)”, confirming the French origin of this advertising keyring. The label's design, as well as the typography, are consistent with the style of promotional items from the 1950s to the 1970s.

This type of miniature keyring was frequently offered by French wine and spirits companies to promote their brand to customers and partners. The item thus combines a utilitarian function with retro decorative appeal, faithfully reflecting the aesthetics of traditional bottles from the south of France.

The whole presents a consistent patina, particularly on the label which shows signs of wear, typical of an authentic vintage item. The attachment mechanism and the bottle are clearly visible in the photo, with no apparent major chips on the side shown.
