Vintage Samo Chips UNIPOL promotional keychain, 70s retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising keyring, square with a slight dome, featuring a visible side adorned with a printed visual. The object highlights the "samo chips" brand in white and blue letters on a red and white background, with a blue border and the inscription "UNIPOL" visible at the bottom of the design. The graphics and typography suggest a typical 1970s design, a period when this type of promotional material was commonly used by food brands.

The main part of the keyring consists of a translucent element with a glossy appearance, probably a thick plastic or cast resin, in which the advertising image is inserted. The edges are softened, the perimeter shows a slight patina and some signs of wear, characteristic of an authentic vintage accessory. The surface shows a depth effect around the visual, highlighting the inclusion technique.

The dark-colored attachment ring has a classic circular shape and a metallic structure with a patinated appearance, indicating prior use. No other decorative elements are visible on the displayed side. The whole is photographed in natural light, highlighting the brilliance of the material and the color contrasts of the advertising visual.

The "samo chips" graphic occupies the upper part, while the "UNIPOL" logo is clearly identifiable in a box at the bottom right. This type of keyring was frequently offered as a promotional item by snack and industrial food brands during the second half of the 20th century.

The back, as well as any other side or detail not visible in the photo, are not described in accordance with expert rules. The precise size is not indicated; the object has a compact format suitable for daily use.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of superficial wear marks, light scratches and visible patina on the metal and plastic, consistent with age and use.

Did you know? Advertising keyrings with plastic inclusions experienced a boom in France in the 60s and 70s, notably thanks to the democratization of molding and printing techniques. Many food brands, like Samo Chips, used this medium to build customer loyalty and increase their visibility among the general public.
