AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old promotional keyring features the Kerbronec brand. The item has a slightly rounded rectangular shape, with a predominantly grey central plate and a red insert in the center. The inscription "Kerbronec" appears on this insert in black and white letters, perfectly legible. The overall design is typical of promotional items from the mid to late 20th century, with a sober and functional aesthetic, characteristic of advertising products from that period.

The main part of the keyring has a metallic appearance, in line with the keywords, with a matte surface showing signs of wear and small oxidation marks, visible particularly around the attachment and on the perimeter of the medallion. The central logo, printed on a red background, shows slight discoloration or a stain in the center, testifying to the item's age. The bold typography of the word "Kerbronec" is typical of the 1970s-1980s, which reinforces the item's vintage authenticity.

The upper attachment is a split ring type, connected to the main plate by a round link chain, which is itself attached to a rectangular metal support. The entire attachment mechanism is clearly visible and functional, although it also shows signs of use. No other pattern or inscription is visible on the main face of the item.

The keyring is photographed on an old wooden background, near glasses and bound books, which highlights its retro appearance. Reflections on the metallic surface and visible wear emphasize its authenticity as an old advertising item.

This type of item, also called a "keyring" or "porte-clef," was commonly distributed as promotional material by French companies in past decades. It stands out here due to the presence of a logo printed on a metallic support, a detail appreciated by lovers of retro design and vintage advertising items.
