Old vintage square advertising keyring, rare retro item

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old promotional keyring, square-shaped, with a visible side adorned with an image embedded under resin. The illustration shows a bottle lying next to a glass, all on a light yellow background typical of 1970s-1980s advertising creations. The edges of the keyring are clean, with a slightly shiny translucent finish that accentuates the object's retro look. The classic carabiner-type metal attachment loop is secured by a small chain with visible links.

The central visual highlights the bottle, whose label is not legible, but whose shape evokes the graphic codes of spirits or branded aperitifs from that period. The whole is encapsulated in a transparent material with a plastic or resin appearance, with no explicit indication of the material on the object or in the keywords. The square format of the keyring, less common than oval or round models, reinforces its distinctive and vintage character.

The keyring shows a slight patina, especially on the metal part, consistent with a period piece. No chips or cracks are visible on the side shown. The internal image retains slightly faded colors, testifying to its age, but remains perfectly identifiable. No logo or text is distinctly legible on the photographed object.

This type of promotional keyring was frequently distributed by beverage or grocery brands in the 70s and 80s, often as a promotional gift in cafes, bars, or grocery stores. The graphic style and the printing technique inserted under resin are typical of this era.

The construction of the keyring, with its short chain and robust loop, makes it an accessory designed for daily use, while displaying a retro aesthetic appreciated today in decoration or vintage fashion.
