    Vintage Intel Pentium Gold Computer Chip keychain Smithsonian 150 1996 New Rare
    This keychain was a promotion for Intel's role as a corporate sponsor of the celebration of the Smithsonian's 150th anniversary.  Only a limited amount of keychains were made and were given to tour guests for the  "America's Smithsonian", a traveling exhibit of Smithsonian Icons on a two-year 12-city tour starting in Los Angeles in Feb. 1996. Intel was a major corporate sponsor of the exhibit and had launched an ad campaign to go with this tour.
    The campaign included television and print ads & was Intel first attempt at corporate image advertising, The Intel ads tried to paint a positive portrait of the Intel corporate character rather than sell the company's microprocessors or motherboards for personal computers.

    Intel Pentium Computer Chip on face and covered in enamel. Measures 1 1/4" square. Back reads "PROUD PARTNER - 1996 Smithsonian".  (information from
