Lancia - original vintage 1970s keyring with faux leather keyfob

NOW SOLD – sorry this keyring has now been sold and can no longer be ordered

An original Lancia keyring which will have been produced in the 1970s.

When this keyring has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

Original 40 year old Lancia keyrings are relatively scarce items – almost all that were made will by now have been lost or thrown away when they wore out.

This original keyring is a rare survivor of the keyrings which were actually being used in the cars at the time.

The keyring is in good serviceable condition with a vitreous enamel badge ( some slight pitting to the nickel plating of the badge ) mounted onto a faux leather keyfob.

Despite this the back of the keyfob is plainly embossed with the leather symbol – but the keyfob is not genuine leather !

This deception was widespread in the 1970s long before trades description legislation had grown teeth.

The keyfob looks to have had a pin stuck through it at some time beneath the badge ………..curiously we often see this with vintage keyrings and can only assume that the car may have been sold and the owner then pinned the keyring up in the garage as a memento of the car- all part of the fascination of these vintage keyrings !

The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive.

When it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.  SMOSO   59/92    08/21
