BMC - vitreous enamel badge mounted onto a new leather keyfob

An almost new condition vitreous enamel BMC Rosette keyfob badge which will have been produced in Birmingham within the last few years for the classic car market 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 or 1970s – 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 these were produced in Birmingham  – probably from original 1960s or 1970s badge dies – and were available up until quite recently .

This vitreous enamel badge is in almost new condition but came to us mounted onto a keyfob in low grade imitation leather so will have been used .

We did list and sell a keyring with a similar badge in October 2023 .

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

The BMC Rosette design lends itself so well to a vitreous enamel badge – just look at the intricate detail .

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

This badge is almost identical to the original keyfob badges which were produced in the 1960s & 1970s .

New reproduction badges will now usually be produced in modern resin based enamel – not vitreous enamel like this one , and will no longer be 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 .

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