Logo Keychain Appraisal

Ball Brand Glitter Keychain

This item appears to be a promotional or novelty keychain featuring a design reminiscent of the Ball brand. Its primary physical characteristic is a rectangular, clear acrylic or plastic casing filled with fine, sparkling gold-colored glitter. Suspended within this glitter-filled chamber, from a small golden chain, is a circular medallion. The medallion has a golden outer rim and features a dark grey or silver-toned square insert with the 'Ball' logo, rendered in a cursive, stylized font, prominently displayed. Below the logo, there are two small, square-cut blue simulated gemstones or crystals, set side-by-side. The clear casing is relatively thin and flat, suggesting it's designed to be lightweight and portable, likely for attachment to keys. At the top edge of the casing, near where the chain is attached, there are two small, protruding nubs; one on the upper left corner and another on the upper right, each possibly designed for attaching other elements or for aesthetic symmetry. The item appears to be in good visible condition, with no discernable scratches or damage to the clear casing, and the glitter fill seems intact and evenly distributed. The metallic components (chain and medallion rim) retain their golden luster, and the blue stones are bright and clear. Given its likely function as a promotional item, it does not show significant signs of wear from extensive use. The construction is simple but effective for containing the glitter and emblem. The style period is likely contemporary, given the materials and typical marketing swag trends, but it could also be a retro-inspired piece. There are no other visible manufacturer's marks beyond the 'Ball' logo itself. Its unique aspect is the glitter-filled chamber, which gives it a playful and eye-catching quality.
