Vintage Dopff & Irion keyring retro advertising old crest

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising keychain, rectangular with rounded corners, featuring a retro look typical of promotional items from the mid to late 20th century. The visible side has a translucent red background, with a central coat of arms surmounted by a stylized knight's head, surrounded by white ornamental motifs. Below the coat of arms is the inscription "DOPFF & IRION" in clearly legible gold capital letters. This visual element evokes the identity of a renowned Alsatian wine house, giving this keychain a strong regional and authentic character.

The keychain is fitted with an oval metal suspension ring, with a dull and marked patina, indicating past use. The attachment mechanism is visible, consisting of a bail and a metal rivet, offering robustness suitable for daily or decorative use. The whole presents a harmonious visual contrast between the colored transparency of the disc and the aged sobriety of the metal.

The coat of arms and graphic elements are printed under a protective layer, which helps preserve the original advertising appearance despite some micro-scratches and signs of wear on the surface. No other text is legible on this side, and the back is not visible in the photo.

The compact shape and retro finish of this keychain make it an iconic accessory of old advertising objects, often distributed by wineries to build customer loyalty.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Visible signs of use on the surface, including fine scratches and a marked patina on the metal part. The print remains legible and the attachment mechanism appears functional on the presented side.
