AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This antique promotional keyring showcases the Végétaline brand, famous for its vegetable cooking fat. The object has a square shape with rounded edges, featuring a translucent structure that reveals a colorful promotional insert integrated inside. On the visible side, a clear image of Végétaline packaging, accompanied by fries, is discernible against a blue, white, and red background, typical of the brand's graphic identity. The text "VÉGÉTALINE" is legible in white letters on a red background, while the bottom right corner displays "UNIPO", likely the manufacturer of the keyring.

The exterior surface has a frosted or matte appearance, suggesting a slightly granular texture. The interior of the keyring features a bright yellow background that highlights the central illustration. The classic attachment ring is connected to a short chain composed of visible metal links with a patinated appearance.

The overall design is distinguished by its aesthetic typical of French promotional items from the 1970s, both in terms of graphics and materials used. The translucent plastic design and the technique of incorporating an image are characteristic of this period and type of promotional goodies.

The keyring is photographed on a wooden support, which highlights the transparency of its structure and the color contrasts. No details are visible on the back or on other sides not shown in the image.

The inscription "UNIPO" (visible at the bottom right of the internal visual) could indicate the manufacturer or distributor of this promotional keyring. The typography, colors, and general style are consistent with French promotional productions from the mid-to-late 20th century.

Condition
Used item sold as is. Visible signs of wear: light scratches and marks on the plastic surface, patination on the metallic part. The interior visual remains clearly legible despite some signs of age.

Did you know? Végétaline was launched in 1911 by the French company Lesieur. This vegetable fat, based on coconut oil, achieved great success in French households, especially for frying fries and doughnuts, due to its ability to withstand high temperatures without burning. Promotional keyrings were frequently used in the 60s and 70s as loyalty tools by food brands.
