Vintage Camargue advertising keyring transparent bull crest retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising keychain, typical of French productions from the 60s to 70s, with a rectangular shape and rounded corners. The piece is made of a translucent plastic-like material, revealing a cardboard or printed insert in its center. On the visible side, a coat of arms divided into two parts (yellow and red background) is highlighted: in the yellow section, a stylized trident evokes the Camargue tradition, while the red part displays a black bull's head, an emblematic symbol of the region. Below, the word "CAMARGUE" is clearly inscribed on a yellow band with a black outline.

The keychain is equipped with a dark metal ring, connected by a short link chain to the main part. The fasteners show slight visible oxidation, typical of advertising objects from this period. The whole shows homogeneous wear: micro-scratches, patina, traces of use, and small dirt are visible on the translucent surface, reinforcing the vintage and authentic appearance of the object.

The graphic design of the coat of arms is typical of regional advertising codes from the mid-20th century, with bright colors and stylized motifs. The whole evokes tourist souvenirs or local promotional campaigns, often distributed by businesses or tourist offices in the Camargue.

The visible side shows no manufacturer's mark, nor mention of specific material. The central insert appears to be printed on paper or cardboard, protected by the transparent casing. No details on the back or inside are visible in the provided photo.

This type of retro keychain is a visual testament to the Camargue identity, combining the black bull and the gardians' trident, two strong emblems of the French Mediterranean region.

Condition

Did you know? The stylized trident visible on this keychain is one of the major symbols of the Camargue. Used by gardians to drive bulls during bull runs, it has become the emblem of Camargue heritage, just like the Camargue cross or the black bull's head, omnipresent in local bullfighting traditions.
