AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique advertising keychain features a miniature bottle of Rhum Saint James. The object has an elongated shape faithful to that of a classic alcohol bottle, with a dark brown body and a red neck, topped with a decorative cap. The visible side presents a yellow label with the legible inscription "RHUM SAINT-JAMES" as well as additional typographical mentions evoking the authenticity and origin of the product. The details of the typography and the graphics of the label are characteristic of retro advertising objects, typical of the 1970s to 1980s.

The keychain is equipped with a main ring with an aged ivory appearance, complemented by a second silver metal ring, allowing keys to be easily attached or for decorative hanging. The ensemble evokes a bistro/bar style, with a resolutely vintage aesthetic that highlights the charm of period advertisements for French spirits.

The miniature bottle is made with a glossy finish, imitating tinted glass, and the label affixed to the front has careful graphic details. No major defects are visible on the exposed side, apart from a slight patina on the main ring, testifying to the antique character of the piece. The neck cap is decorated with a golden border and a circular motif typical of historical rum brands.

This type of advertising keychain was once distributed in bars, cafés, and bistros to promote emblematic brands like Saint James, now sought after for their decorative value and their evocative power of the French spirits heritage.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Slight signs of wear visible on the main ring and patina consistent with age. The miniature bottle and label are in good condition on the visible side.

Did you know? The Saint James brand is one of the oldest agricultural rum distilleries in Martinique, founded in 1765. It is known for its square bottles, a design conceived in the early 20th century to facilitate transport and storage in ship holds, and which has since become a visual emblem of Martinican rum.
