Triumph TR2 – original Manhattan Windsor keyfob badge remounted onto a new leather keyfob – collector’s item

An original Triumph TR2 keyfob badge which will have probably have been produced in the 1970s – for use with classic TR2s – 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.

As often happened – keyrings were produced a couple of decades after the cars themselves were produced because hardly any keyrings ( if any ) had been produced for that model at the time .

We generally only describe a keyring as a ‘collector’s item ‘ when the keyring has the original badge still mounted to the original keyfob – but in this case the badge is so rare that we consider it to be a collector’s item .

Apart from the one original period 1950s TR2 keyring which we currently have listed …………..over the years we have only previously listed just one other original period keyring dating from the 1950s for Triumph TR2 – it is doubtful if any keyrings were produced for the car actually at the time when the cars were produced as the very earliest car keyrings only date from around 1955 – just as the TR2 went out of production to be replaced by the TR3 .

This badge is in mint condition with beautiful jewellery grade vitreous enamel and was made by the very well known Manhattan Windsor Co. of Birmingham most probably in the 1970s .

It is the only example of this Manhattan Windsor badge which we have ever listed and is a very rare item.

Manhattan Windsor produced the very finest quality keyrings and keyfob badges – their details are marked on the back of the badge .

We have remounted the badge onto a new keyfob in full grain black leather .

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