Land Rover – vitreous enamel badge remounted onto a new leather keyfob

A vitreous enamel Land Rover keyfob badge which will have been produced in Birmingham just a few years ago which we have remounted onto a new leather keyfob as can be seen in the photos.

We have just this one keyring with this badge to offer – when this keyring has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

This badge is NOT an original vintage keyfob badge –  it was produced much later .

Up until the early 2000s there were several badgemakers in the Birmingham area still making keyrings with superb quality ‘old school’ vitreous enamel badges like this one .

In many cases the badges were still being produced from the original badge dies.

This vitreous enamel badge is in new condition and does not appear to have been used on a keyring and we have remounted it onto a new keyfob in full grain green leather .

We did list a couple of keyrings with similar badges last year – they both had ‘ MADE IN ENGLAND’ marked on the reverse of the badge.

The reverse of this badge is plain .

Sadly vitreous enamel keyfob badges like these are apparently no longer made in England – all that are available now are in modern resin based enamel produced overseas .

Maybe one day in the future lovely quality badges like these will once again be made in England ……………………..but the areas where the workshops stood have now generally been built over with housing estates and the craftsmen with their knowledge and skills have gone .

This badge design would be relevant for any Land Rover vehicle from the 1960s Series II Land Rovers up until the present day.

This keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive
