AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising keyring, representing the iconic brand "La Vache qui Rit" (The Laughing Cow). The visible side features a round medallion with a metallic appearance, adorned with a colorful label with retro graphics. In the center, the famous smiling red cow's face is highlighted against a blue background, accompanied by a design evoking a portion of cheese. The legible inscription reads: "processed cheese for spreading LA VACHE QUI RIT with blue cheese".

The keyring is mounted on a classic metal ring, connected by a small chain to the medallion. The main colors are blue, off-white, red, and brown, in a palette typical of advertising objects from the 70s-80s. The whole is distinguished by its retro look, faithful to the visual universe of dairy products of that era.

The surface of the medallion shows some visible signs of wear, especially marks on the printed area, which attests to its authenticity as a used item. The circular structure and the embossed print give this keyring a collector's style, sought after by enthusiasts of old advertising and food brand souvenirs.

The visible part does not show any major defects on the metal structure. The central print, although patinated, remains legible and retains its original colors, with a slight alteration due to time.

This vintage keyring is a typical example of promotional goodies distributed by major French brands in the second half of the 20th century. It perfectly illustrates the evolution of advertising design and the attachment to the visual identity of "La Vache qui Rit".

Condition
