Vintage The Laughing Cow keyring old metal advertising cheese

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old advertising keychain features the iconic brand La Vache Qui Rit. Round in shape, its visible side faithfully reproduces a melted cheese spread packaging, with the illustration of the famous smiling red cow in the center. The inscription "LA VACHE QUI RIT melted cheese spread with Emmental" clearly appears below the visual, confirming the authenticity of the advertising campaign.

The main part of the keychain is white, with a slightly satin effect on the visible surface. The central illustration, in red, yellow, and white tones, echoes the characteristic graphic style of the 70s-80s, typical of promotional items distributed by French food brands at that time.

The keychain is equipped with a metal ring connected to the medallion by a short chain with round links. The whole presents a finish faithful to vintage advertising objects, with a contrast between the metallic appearance of the ring and the smooth-surfaced body of the keychain.

No excessive wear marks appear on the visible side, apart from a few discreet traces related to age, particularly around the illustration, which confirms its character as an old promotional second-hand item. The whole retains good legibility and a good overall presentation.

This type of promotional keychain was frequently offered as a bonus with product purchases or distributed during marketing operations, and remains today an authentic testimony to 20th-century French food advertising graphics.

Did you know? La Vache Qui Rit, created in 1921, is one of the most famous French melted cheese brands in the world. Its famous logo was originally designed by Benjamin Rabier, illustrator and comic strip author. This type of advertising keychain, very common in the 1970s-1980s, often accompanied the major loyalty campaigns of French agri-food brands.
