Laverda – original new old stock 1990s? riveted keyring

A Laverda keyring which is difficult to date as these keyrings with the badge riveted onto the keyfob were produced from the 1980s up until relatively recently .

We would think that this one will have been produced during the 1990s or possibly early 2000s .

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

The main feature of this keyring is the lovely jewellery quality vitreous enamel badge – so much nicer than the badges in ‘ modern ‘ resin based resin enamel which are produced these days .

This keyring is in brand new condition with the vitreous enamel badge mounted onto a keyfob in black faux leather .

The badge is mounted onto the keyfob by means of an aluminium rivet securing the badge loop – this method of keyring construction carried on through the late 1980s until relatively recently .

This badge mounted onto this keyring is correct for 1968 onwards Laverda motorcycles including late 1960s 650cc, early 1970s 750cc, mid 1970s Laverda 1000 leading onto Laverda Jota until late 1980s.

Almost certainly this keyring would have been made in Birmingham – some bike  keyrings were still being made in England in the early 2000s although that was changing fast .

Whilst being budget priced these keyrings were well made and had a genuine jewellery quality vitreous enamel badge .

‘ MADE IN ENGLAND ‘ marked on the back of the badge – keyrings are now invariably produced overseas with ‘modern’ resin based enamel badges which will no longer be marked ‘MADE IN ENGLAND ‘ as sadly they are no longer made in England .

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