What do you call this kind of Key Chain? I could only get 2 images but there are 3 of them. When you move the key chain the girls Hula. I also have one that is a GOP and DEM. One way GOP and Elephant the other way DEM and jackass. Any help would be appreciated. There is no zip code on them. So it is before 1960.
Thanks

I would call it a "Holographic" key chain. And I'd also list it under Category 2004 - which is Collectibles, Cultures/Ethnicities, Hawaiiana, Hula.

This keychain is a lenticular animation, that is a specially made print mounted behind a ribbed screen that shows you a series of different images at different angles. They act like cell animation cartoons to show movement. They are sometimes called flickers. They can also show a number of different images as they are turned as your political keychain does.
My mother brought a keychain somewhat like the hula girls back from Hawaii in the 70s. -----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o

Thanks cta and photosensitive for your quick response. I hope you don't mind photo but I have used most of your idea in my auction.
