AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising keychain, elongated drop-shaped, made of silver-look metal. The object features a visible side protected by a translucent surface, revealing a round, colored insert. The insert displays the text "la crotte du diable" (the devil's dung) in white letters on a red and yellow gradient background, accompanied by a small stylized black drawing depicting a devilish silhouette with a trident. Around the edge of the visual, the inscription "épice à aile corsée créé pour diable" (full-bodied wing spice created for the devil) is also legible.

The keychain consists of a circular metal ring, connected by a short chain to the main part. The outer contours of the medallion are smooth, with a slight relief framing the central area. The overall design evokes a typical 1970s advertising style, both in its color palette and in the typography and graphics used.

The visible side does not show any manufacturer's signature or apparent serial number. The overall condition shows light signs of use, with an period patina on the metal part, without visible oxidation or major chips. The graphic insert remains bright, the colors well preserved, and no significant defects are observable on the protected surface.

This type of promotional keychain was frequently offered to promote spicy or original food products, here around the humorous and quirky theme of "la crotte du diable." The object stands out for its retro design and the originality of its advertising message.

The keychain is presented against an old library background, placed on a wooden surface, which highlights its vintage character and visual authenticity.
