Vintage Verdun Aix round advertising keyring, red lettering

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old advertising keychain is distinguished by its round shape and design typical of promotional items from the mid-20th century. The main part, visible in the photo, presents a light-colored surface, slightly patinated, with red raised lettering indicating "VERDUN AIX." The inscription is well-centered, with angular typography characteristic of the 1950s to 1970s.

The keychain is equipped with a self-closing metal ring, connected to the round medallion by a short chain composed of visible links. The ring shows traces of oxidation and wear, typical of old use, which reinforces its authentic vintage look. The surface of the medallion shows some marks and irregularities, including slight discoloration and small stains, without affecting the legibility of the inscription.

Above the word "Verdun," a finely drawn graphic symbol is visible, evoking a lyre or a stylized motif, which adds a subtle decorative touch. The background of the medallion has a smooth texture, with an aged appearance and a matte finish. No additional decor is visible on the photographed side.

The chain and ring appear to be made of silver-finished metal, with signs of oxidation and friction. The set displays a retro style, very representative of advertising items distributed in shops or during local events throughout the 20th century.

This "Verdun Aix" advertising keychain is ideal for daily use or for decorating a set of keys, a bag, or an office, thanks to its vintage look and distinctive typography.
