AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising keychain representing the Alsatian beer brand Mutzig. The item has a round medallion shape, resembling a seal, in a bright red finish. On the visible side, the embossed design includes a central coat of arms featuring a horseman, surmounted by a mural crown, typical of the heraldic iconography used by the Mutzig brewery. The inscriptions "Mutzig", "1810" (mentioned twice), and "BIÈRE D'ALSACE" are present in gold letters around the edge of the keychain.

The piece is equipped with a bail and a ring connected to a gold-colored metal clasp, of the carabiner type, allowing for easy attachment to a keyring or bag. The red surface has a glossy texture with partially patinated gold inscriptions, indicating prior use.

The graphic style, typography, and printing technique of the gold letters evoke the advertising production of the 1970s to 1980s, although no precise date is legible on this example. The item is typical of promotional objects distributed by French breweries, particularly in Alsace, a region renowned for its brewing heritage.

The central coat of arms and the mention "1810" recall the historical roots of the Mutzig brewery, founded at the beginning of the 19th century. The item stands out for its vibrant color and retro appearance, characteristic of advertising keychains from this period.

The keychain is photographed against a light background, highlighting the brightness of the red and the golden details of the design. No other accessories are visible in the image.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Visible wear is noted on the gold letters (especially on "Mutzig" and "BIÈRE D'ALSACE"), consistent with the age and use of this type of advertising keychain. The metal clasp shows a uniform patina.
