Vintage retro yellow red cow keychain - metal and plastic - old accessory

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This antique keychain features a stylized cow-shaped pendant, made of bright yellow plastic, adorned with irregular red spots applied to both visible flanks of the animal. The silhouette evokes a graphic and playful representation, typical of advertising or promotional products from past decades.

The pendant is attached to a short, silver-toned metal chain, connected to a classic circular ring, also in a metallic hue. The ensemble presents a striking visual contrast between the vibrant yellow of the main material and the red details, enhancing the retro look of this accessory.

The cow has rounded horns and a raised tail ending in a star shape, accentuating the naive and humorous style of the object. The four legs are cut out of the mass, and the contours are clean, without superfluous details, highlighting the deliberate simplicity of the design. No logo or inscription is visible on the shown side.

The overall condition shows a slight patina of use with some wear marks on the colored surface, notably areas where the red paint appears partially faded, testifying to past use and reinforcing the vintage charm of the ensemble.

The graphic style, the combination of colored plastic and metal, as well as the animal advertising theme, suggest production likely dating back to the 70s-80s, a period when this type of goodie was common in promotional campaigns for food or dairy brands.

This keychain is a used item and is sold as is.

Did you know? Molded plastic advertising keychains appeared massively in France from the 1960s onwards, benefiting from the boom in plastics processing and the democratization of promotional items. Stylized animals were frequently chosen for their friendly appearance and their ability to easily convey a brand identity.
