AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description

This vintage promotional keychain features a square shape with rounded corners and a main side illustrated with a colorful label. The inscription "Le Recolet" is visible in the center, typical of old advertising visuals. The background of the label combines vibrant blue, golden yellow, and touches of red, all surrounded by a light border. The surface shows signs of wear and patina, attesting to its age and authenticity. The upper part of the keychain is equipped with a metal ring and a spring-loaded carabiner, classic features of promotional accessories from the mid-20th century.

The visual's support appears rigid, with an ivory or off-white look, contrasting with the central label. The advertising print, although partially faded, reveals complex graphic details, typical of retro French design. No other additional text or logo is legible on the displayed side.

The bail and the ring are made of metal, silver-colored, with a matte finish. The carabiner has a spring-loaded opening, functional for attaching it to a set of keys, a bag, or a belt. The whole ensemble displays a retro look, reinforced by the typography and color palette of the label.

The keychain is photographed placed on an old wooden surface, in front of bound books, emphasizing its vintage character. The contrast between the object's patina and the setting highlights its authenticity and advertising history.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side of the keychain shows significant signs of wear, particularly on the printed label (discoloration, surface wear, small marks). The carabiner and ring also show signs of use. The overall structure remains intact and functional.

Did you know? Le Recolet is a French brand historically associated with cheese production. Promotional keychains, very popular in France from the 1950s to the 1970s, were often distributed by food brands to build customer loyalty and increase their daily visibility.
