Alfa Romeo Milano – original vintage 1960s keyring by Kings International – collector’s item

An original Alfa Romeo keyring which will have been produced in the 1960s .

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

We did recently list and sell a similar Alfa Romeo keyring also produced by Kings International but with a different keyfob shape .

The keyring in this listing is only the 2nd Alfa Romeo keyring by Kings International which we have ever listed over the years .

Original 1960s Alfa Romeo keyrings with the Alfa Romeo Milano badge are scarce items – particularly in this condition .

In 1972 Alfa Romeo dropped ‘ Milano’ from their badge – so we know that this keyring was produced before 1972 .

This keyring is in very good condition with a nickel plated keyfob badge in jewellery quality vitreous enamel .

The enamel is in good condition with 3 tiny enamel chips which can be seen in the enlarged high resolution photos but are hardly noticeable when the badge is viewed at life size in the hand .

Some very slight rubbing of the nickel plating over the high areas of the wreath around the left hand edge of the badge – once again hardly noticeable .

The badge is mounted onto a keyfob in genuine full grain black leather  marked ‘ TOP GRAIN LEATHER ‘ in silver foil .

The leather keyfob is in very good condition with the usual appearance of a leather keyfob which has had some use .

‘KINGS INT’L.  N.Y.C.  10011 ‘ is marked on the back of the badge .

There was a badge manufacturer in New York , USA known as ‘King’s International ‘ a long while ago who marked their badges ‘ N.Y.C. ‘ ( New York City )

Details and identities of  many manufacturers like Kings have sadly become lost in time having never been properly recorded and are now probably lost forever – but it would appear that this keyring was made in USA .

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