Keychains

1940?  Two key chains advertising Fable Topping.  “For Better Desserts and Bakery Products.”  Plastic and metal.  .8” x 1.2”.  A.E. Chapin, Whittier, CA.  Source unknown.

I can find Chapins who lived and are buried in Whittier, but the web has so far not offered information on the company that made “Fable Topping.” 

1950?  Keychain by Cronenbourg Beers CORSO FLEURI 65.  The keychain contains a plastic triangle showing the fable La Fontaine “Le Corbeau & Le Renard.”  The verso shows the brewery’s coat of arms, as established in 1664.  €5 from Rougemaisonuser on Ebay, Nov., ’20.

Our first keychain!

 

1950?  Keychain advertising Café Jean-Pierre and illustrating GA.  1¼" in diameter.  €2.90 from Librairie_retrorepro through Ebay, Sept., '21.

Here is another surprising keychain.  The colored circular picture echoes Grandville.  We might wonder whether it was printed and how.
