Rare vintage retro blue advertising keyring, promotional item

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old advertising keychain has a tapered shape, resembling a stylized bottle or flask, characteristic of promotional items from the mid to late 20th century. The main part is pale blue-green, with a matte, slightly patinated surface that attests to its age. The visible side has molding lines and a small rectangular recess, probably intended for a feature or promotional inscription that is now erased or absent on this side.

The keychain is fitted with a bronze-colored ball chain, typical of advertising accessories from past decades. This chain is attached to a silver metal ring, allowing for easy attachment to a set of keys or a bag. The whole presents a utilitarian and retro design, with a simple and robust aesthetic.

The surface of the keychain shows some traces and marks of use, especially visible on the widest part, which confirms previous use and reinforces its vintage character. No logo or text is legible on the exposed side, but the general appearance suggests an object designed for the promotion of a brand or product to the general public.

The visible model is reminiscent of keychains offered during advertising campaigns in the 1960s to 1980s. The molding details and the ball chain complete the retro look, making this object a visual witness to the promotional strategies of the time.

Condition

This keychain is a used item and shows visible signs of wear on the surface. It is sold as is, as shown in the photo, without restoration or additional cleaning.
