The hanging figurine has a clear, ivory-like finish, sculpted in relief with a naive style typical of mid-20th century advertising mascots. The character is standing, wearing a hat, a suit with a jacket and trousers, and holding a flat object resembling a sign or a newspaper. The details of the face and outfit are molded in slight relief, giving the whole a distinct retro charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side shows a matte texture, with slight nuances in the light shade, probably due to the material or wear over time. The ring and chain are metallic in color, with a slightly tarnished patina that reinforces the vintage look of the whole. The character's contours are well defined, with a caricatural style faithful to period advertising mascots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe keychain has a solid construction, the attachment being connected to the character's head by a short chain. Some traces of wear and small marks are visible on the surface, particularly on the flat part held by the character, which testifies to previous use and accentuates its retro authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an advertising perspective, this type of keychain was often offered by brands or companies to promote a product or service, relying on the popularity of a recognizable character. The absence of bright color and the matte finish suggest a production prior to the 1980s, which supports the \"vintage\" attribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe object has a compact format, easy to slip into a pocket or attach to a set of keys. It is a utilitarian but also decorative accessory, which retains all its appeal for daily use or as a display item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
