AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising keychain featuring a miniature bottle of the "Maisex" brand. The item is molded in the shape of a bottle, with a translucent yellow appearance reminiscent of an oil bottle. On the front, a visible label bears the inscription in blue letters: "MAISEX" and, below, "PURE CORN GERM OIL" in capital letters. The keychain is attached by a metal ring and bail, clearly visible in the photo.

The bottle exhibits a translucent effect and a golden yellow color, recalling corn oil. The label, with a sober graphic design typical of the mid-20th century, shows visible wear, including a central stain and some signs of age. The overall impression suggests manufacturing from the 1950s-1970s, characteristic of promotional items from that period.

The keychain ring, in metallic color, shows a patina of use consistent with the age of the item. The overall shape is faithful to the advertising miniatures of the era, with marked realism in the reproduction of the bottle. No other text or logo is visible on the shown side.

This retro advertising keychain is a typical example of promotional items distributed by French food brands in the 20th century, used as gifts or communication tools. It appeals to lovers of vintage objects, old gadgets, or souvenirs of historical food brands.

The visible side shows no major chips, but a homogeneous patina and traces of use are observed, particularly on the paper label. The item is photographed against an old background, highlighting its retro style.
