The torpedo keyfob shape was one of the first shapes which was used for automotive keyrings between the mid 1950s and early 1960s . The split ring is positioned at 90 degrees to the keyfob itself – which can result in the keyring not always hanging flat to the vehicle dashboard when in use- which is probably why this keyfob shape went out of favour and it was very rarely used after the late 1960s.
Many original Jaguar keyrings produced by Castles Unit Development Co. of Leicester ( the famous CUD Co. ) were produced as torpedo shaped keyrings . These can be very valuable nowadays if they are still in good condition .
