Home / Online Shop / Volkswagen – original vintage 1990s new old stock ? Manhattan Windsor keyring – collector’s item
NOW SOLD – sorry this keyring has now been sold and can no longer be ordered
A superb original Volkswagen keyring produced by Manhattan Windsor which we would think will have been produced during the 1990s – towards the end of Manhattan Windsor’s production .
We have just this one example of this keyring to offer – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.
This is the only example of one of these Manhattan Windsor Volkswagen keyrings which we have ever listed – very few can have been produced .
This Volkswagen keyring was produced by Manhattan Windsor of Birmingham who have become recognised as being the premier manufacturer of the finest British automotive keyrings ever produced – sadly they closed their doors some time ago having produced keyrings for over 30 years .
This keyring has a nickel plated badge with jewellery quality cobalt blue vitreous enamelling of the highest standard .
The reverse of the badge is marked with Manhattan Windsor’s details .
The badge is mounted onto a keyfob in genuine black leather of a generous thickness gold embossed ‘ TOP GRAIN LEATHER ‘
The splitring is even in a gloss black anodised finish – the attention to detail which Manhattan Windsor went to is beyond belief .
This keyring looks to be in new old stock condition – we would not think that it will ever have been used.
It will be one of the last top quality British made traditional keyrings with a vitreous enamel badge mounted onto a genuine leather keyfob ever produced for Volkswagen .
From the late 1950s until the 1990s almost all keyrings for the world’s cars were produced in England – it was quite an industry .
Sadly almost all car keyrings are now produced overseas generally with plastic resin badges mounted onto imitation leather keyfobs .
The keyring in the photos is the keyring which you will receive – a lovely keyring which could be used in any Volkswagen vehicle of the period or as a retro keyring in a much later car .
The ultimate Volkswagen keyring for that special car and for the Volkswagen driver who ( like us ) still likes to use a traditional leather keyring !
This keyring is almost Volkswagen jewellery and it almost seems a shame to actually use it as intended – it should be placed in a collection .
The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive . SMOSO 00590326
