The picture shows a view of this Old Enameled Franco American War Veteran Advertising Key Chain. The keychain is not dated but it is believed to be from the 1950s or 1960s. The back is blank. The front has light and dark blue enameled sections. It has an insignia or emblem with several images and it is marked as follows:

FFF
FRANCO - AMERICAN
WAR VETERANS INC.

To judge the size the keychain fob or charm measures about 1'' wide. It appears to be in mint unused condition as pictured. Below here, for reference, is some information on the Free French Forces (FFF):

Free French Forces

The Free French Forces of the French National Committee, a London based exile group led by Charles de Gaulle, were formed in 1940 to maintain the French commitment to the Allies and liberate French territory occupied by Germany. Together with the French Resistance, they played a part in the Mediterranean Theatre and the liberation of western Europe, including France in 1944. By 1943, free France had a vast land (but no war industry, it remained dependent on US aid) and then changed its name into fighting France (which regrouped the Free French, the Vichy authority that joined it and the interior resistance) with a sort of government, the CFLN which officially became French government in June 1944 and took control of France in august and September 1944.

In 1944, the FFF soldiers were about 560,000. In 1945, more than 1,300,000. The Resistance (forces of the interior), according to D. E. Eisenhower, played a role equal to 15 fighting divisions. The FFF and Resistance played a major role during the liberation of France. The first ally unit on the Rhine was a free French unit, the RICM.
