SERFLEX advertising keyring old vintage car retro translucent square

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage advertising keychain showcases the SERFLEX brand, identifiable by the yellow "SERFLEX" inscription on a black and white image of a hose clamp, emblematic of the brand. The object has a slightly domed square shape with rounded corners and a translucent surface revealing the central illustration. The keychain's finish suggests typical manufacturing from the 60s to 70s, both in its graphic style and visible plastic texture.

The visible side shows a silver metallic ring connected by a short chain to the base of the square, typical of advertising keychains distributed by automotive or industrial companies during that period. The chain and ring have a shiny metallic appearance, without decorative motifs, and seem suitable for daily use as a key ring accessory.

The central visual, inserted under the translucent surface, highlights a flagship product of the brand, the hose clamp, in a sober and advertising graphic style. The contrast of the yellow lettering on a black background is eye-catching and evokes the aesthetic codes of promotional items from that era. No other text or logo is visible apart from this main visual.

The surface shows some traces of use or micro-scratches, characteristic of a used object that has passed through decades. The transparency of the plastic reveals a slight patina or signs of age, without major apparent defects in the photographed area.

This keychain is a typical example of a vintage automotive advertising accessory, both utilitarian and a testament to mid-20th century French industrial design.
