Vintage advertising keyring Chocolat Aiguebelle, old, translucent plate

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique advertising keychain features the Chocolat Aiguebelle brand. The item consists of a translucent rectangular plaque, with a slightly frosted appearance, revealing a printed paper or cardboard insert. The central text, clearly legible, displays in red and blue letters: "Collect the many Chocolat Aiguebelle keychains with their different designs." The whole is protected by a transparent shell with straight edges, typical of French advertising productions from the mid-20th century.

The keychain is equipped with a large metal ring, connected to the plaque by a movable metal attachment. The ring shows a visible patina, with some traces of oxidation and superficial wear, consistent with old use. The overall structure of the keychain is solid, with no visible cracks on the visible side.

The typography used for the "Aiguebelle" brand is characteristic of the 1950s-1960s, with a sober and effective layout. This type of advertising keychain was frequently distributed by food brands in France, and the mention "Collect the many keychains" indicates that it is a promotional series with varied subjects.

The main colors are the white/gray of the background, bright red for the brand and blue for the descriptive text, offering a strong visual contrast. No decoration or illustration is visible on this side; only the advertising text occupies the surface. The general appearance evokes a typical post-war promotional item manufacturing.

The keychain is photographed placed on an antique wooden furniture, which highlights its retro character and emphasizes the sobriety of its presentation. No additional markings or logos are visible on the side shown.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Traces of wear on the metal ring and slight surface marks on the translucent plaque. The text is clearly legible and the whole is in good structural condition for its age.
