Description

This antique keychain features a stylized crocodile, visible from above in the photo. The animal's body is olive green, with a matte finish and a grained effect reminiscent of leather, as per the keywords. The details of the head, elongated snout, distinct paws, and curved tail are finely sculpted, giving the whole a realistic and decorative appearance. The scales and folds of the back are suggested by discreet lines, typical of retro animal representations.

The crocodile part is securely attached to a large, silver metal ring, allowing for easy attachment to a keyring or bag. A metal carabiner completes the set, offering a dual attachment option. The metal has a smooth and shiny appearance, elegantly contrasting with the green of the crocodile.

The overall style of this keychain evokes creations from the 1970s-1980s, common in novelty leather goods accessories of that period. The object is presented on a yellow cushion (not included), which highlights the animal's green hue and emphasizes its decorative appeal.

No brand or inscription is visible on the shown side. The craftsmanship shows attention to the volumes and silhouette of the animal, with particular care given to the surface texture and the finish of the tail and snout.

This vintage animal keychain will find its place as both a functional accessory and a retro decorative object or original gift. Its elongated shape allows for a good grip, and its distinctive design makes it easily identifiable in a bag or pocket.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Some minor signs of wear may be observed on the metal ring, but the whole remains in good general condition, with no major visible defects on the crocodile part.
