Vintage French round keychain young man photo - Old advertising

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old French advertising keyring, round in shape, featuring a color photograph of a young man on the front. The visible part of the keyring consists of a circular medallion with a translucent surface, revealing the image inserted under a protective layer. The photograph shows a male face, short brown hair, blue eyes, against a neutral background, wearing an orange-red top.

The attachment ring is connected to a short chain made of metal links, ending with an old-style lever clasp. The visible metal shows a patina and an aged appearance, typical of advertising items distributed in France during the second half of the 20th century. No distinct logo or inscription is visible on the photographed face.

The overall design suggests manufacturing likely dating from the 1970s to 1980s, recognizable by the aesthetic of the photograph and the style of the clasp. This type of item was often distributed during advertising campaigns or as promotional souvenirs, with a finish reminiscent of old lamination techniques.

The surface of the medallion shows some visible signs of wear, including slight scratches and discreet marks, with no major chips apparent. The image remains clear and well-centered under the translucent protection. The chain and carabiner are functional, with slight oxidation due to age.
