Austin Healey – new vitreous enamel badge remounted onto a new leather keyfob

NOW SOLD – sorry these keyrings have now been sold and can no longer be ordered

A new vitreous enamel Austin Healey keyfob badge which will have been produced in Birmingham within the last few years which we have mounted onto a new leather keyfob as can be seen in the photos .

This is NOT an original vintage badge  – it will have been produced just a few years ago and is not to be confused with an original vintage badge from the 1960s – this badge was made much later.

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

Superb quality ‘old school’ vitreous enamel badges like this one were produced in Birmingham  ‘MADE IN ENGLAND’ marked on the reverse of the badge – possibly  from the original badge dies – and were available up until quite recently .

We have remounted the badge onto a new leather keyfob in black saddlery hide .

New reproduction badges will now usually be produced in modern resin based enamel – not vitreous enamel like this one  – and they are most unlikely to have ‘MADE IN ENGLAND’ marked on the reverse because they are no longer made in England .

Maybe one day in the future beautiful quality vitreous enamel badges like these will once again be made in England ……………………..but the areas where the workshops once stood have now generally been built over with housing estates and the craftsmen with their knowledge and skills have gone .
