Various depictions of St. Christopher were very popular keyrings & keychains for use in cars in the 1950s and 1960s.

This keychain medallion shows St. Christopher in very much more original detail than on most keyrings/keychains of the time- because this is Charles Horner’s own depiction of the theme.

They were in existence from the time of Charles Horner himself in the 19th Century up until 1984 when they went into voluntary liquidation .
