Bentley – new vitreous enamel badge mounted onto a new leather keyfob

A couple of new vitreous enamel Bentley keyfob badges which will have been produced in Birmingham within the last few years which we have mounted onto  new leather keyfobs as can be seen in the photos .

British made vitreous enamel badges like these used to be generally available up until fairly recently mounted onto imitation leather keyfobs ( which is where these badges were sourced from )

These are not original vintage badges – they will have been produced just a few years ago and are not to be confused with original vintage badges – these badges were produced much later.

We have just these two keyrings with this badge to offer  – when both have been sold this listing will be cancelled.

Superb quality ‘old school’ vitreous enamel badges like these were produced in Birmingham – probably from the original badge dies – and were available up until quite recently .

We have remounted both badges onto new leather keyfobs in full grain black leather .

Sadly vitreous enamel badges like these are apparently no longer produced in England .

These badges are virtually  identical to original keyfob badges  – but these badges are not original badges , they were produced much later .

New reproduction badges will now usually be produced in modern resin based enamel – not vitreous enamel like these – and are unlikely to have been produced 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 .
