Description

A rounded-rectangular plastic keychain, branded to the Shell Waterton Complex, on the occasion of their 25th anniversary. Fob: A rounded-rectangular, clear plastic keyfob, with a rectangle of paper suspended in a hollow, 5-9mm in from the sides. The paper is white, with blue, green, black, red, and yellow print. The design is as follows: A black outline in the shape of a rounded-corner rectangle. The background inside the outline is divided roughly into four sections, blue sky, white mountains (rough angular shapes), green grass, and the white silhouette of a facility building and tower. In the top-left corner is the Shell Oil logo in red (outlines) and yellow (fill). The mountain portion has a fine zig-zagged black line through the middle. In the middle-left is the yellow text "25 YEARS", and along the middle-bottom is the red text "WATERTON COMPLEX". The top of the cylindrical tower, on the far right, extends up to the top-right, and is topped with red. A fine black line also outlines the top of the white facility section and the outline of the cylindrical tower. The print is slightly off-set, most visibly with the yellow text. On the middle left is a hole, through which a triangular jump ring is attached, and to which is attached a keyring. Keyring: Split ring, round, 24.5mm diameter, 2.5mm thickness. Old Description (Kelsey Steil, 5/24/2022): Keychain with clear rectangular plastic fob. Inside is an illustration of a gas plant in front of a green field with mountains in the background. On the left is the logo for Shell. Below in yellow reads: 25 Years. In red text at bottom reads: Waterton Co.
