On the main side, a black illustration depicts three stylized birds, accompanied by the handwritten inscription \"Chez Alfred\" and in capital letters \"Colmar\". This design suggests a local promotional creation, probably for an establishment or business in the city of Colmar. The print is on a light background, protected by a translucent surface slightly dulled by time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe object is distinguished by its thick structure, typical of 60s\/70s keychains, and by its metal spring bail, showing homogeneous superficial oxidation. The whole displays a retro style, characteristic of advertising objects distributed by provincial shops or cafes at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe keychain measures approximately 4 to 5 cm in height (excluding the attachment), with rounded edges and a matte finish on the frame. The attachment consists of a short chain and a classic ring, both in aged-looking metal, testifying to prolonged use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustrated side shows visible wear: the printed paper has small stains and marks, but no major tears. The whole remains legible and stable in its housing. The back is not visible in the photo; no information about a possible manufacturer's mark is present on the visible side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its graphic style and typography, this keychain is part of the tradition of regional advertising objects from the mid-20th century, prized for their authentic character and design evocative of a bygone era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
