Vintage advertising keychain Kohler The Knights metal and plexi retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage advertising keychain, featuring the words "KOHLER les Chevaliers" on a vibrant blue background under a transparent plexiglass-like surface. The object has a rectangular shape with rounded corners, typical of promotional keychains distributed in the second half of the 20th century. The visible part highlights white graphics on a blue background, perfectly legible, underlined by a translucent frame that reveals the edge of the support.

The attachment consists of a short, silver-finished metal chain, connected to a spring-type ring, also made of metal (in line with the keywords). The visible opening system is a lever type, appreciated for its robustness and practicality on old advertising keychains. The attachment area and the chain show solid manufacturing, suitable for daily use.

The overall design is characterized by effective simplicity: no superfluous patterns, but a direct highlighting of the brand and slogan. The whole shows a slight patina on the metal, with no major visible oxidation, suggesting limited use or good maintenance. The inscription "KOHLER les Chevaliers" is printed in white, with no noticeable alteration of the lettering or discoloration of the blue background.

The transparent surface shows slight signs of wear (micro-scratches mainly visible when backlit), with no cracks or chips apparent in the photo. The object thus retains all its legibility and its original decorative appearance. The finish of the whole, as well as the typography used, evoke a retro style, probably from the 1970s to 1980s, common for this type of promotional item.

This advertising keychain combines robust materials with an effective graphic presentation, typical of promotional items distributed by companies to increase their visibility. The choice of blue and white, combined with the transparency of the support, gives the whole an immediately recognizable visual identity.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Slight visible signs of use (micro-scratches on the transparent surface, metal patina), with no apparent structural defect on the presented side.

Did you know? Plexiglass advertising keychains, particularly popular between the 1960s and 1980s, were often manufactured in France by specialized companies. They served as a communication medium for local or national brands, and their massive distribution made them true witnesses of the commercial and graphic history of their time.
