Mercedes Benz – original late 1960s/early 1970s ? vitreous enamel badge remounted onto a new leather keyfob

An original Mercedes Benz vitreous enamel keyfob badge which we would think will have been produced in the late 1960s or early 1970s 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 it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

This relatively small vitreous enamel keyfob badge ( 24mm in diameter whereas most keyfob badges are around 27mm in diameter ) is in good condition .

Some slight wear to the nickel plating over the areas of high relief on the silver star and a stray inclusion of a tiny strand of metal which is well attached and plated over as can be seen in the enlarged high resolution listing photos .

The badge bears all the hallmarks of a badge which was produced in Japan at the time .

Quite a lot of keyfob badges were produced in Japan in the 1960s and are not always marked as such .

Despite it’s relatively minor ‘ faults ‘ which are not particularly noticeable when viewed at life size in the hand this is an interesting little badge and the only example which we have ever listed .

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