BMW – original vintage 1990s dealership keyring no. 2

We are not licensed by BMW or any of their representatives to reproduce any of the registered BMW designs.

The keyring in this listing is an original vintage BMW keyring which will have been produced over 25 years ago .

We are currently offering 2  examples of this keyring – the particular keyring in this listing is keyring no. 2 – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

There is also another almost identical keyring currently listed – keyring no. 1 ( unless now sold )

The photos in this listing refer to this keyring no. 2 and the keyring which you receive will be the actual keyring no 2 in these photos .

This keyring is in excellent condition with a jewellery grade vitreous enamel badge mounted onto a keyfob in genuine black leather of a generous thickness .

The vitreous enamel badge is in excellent condition with hardly a mark on it .

The genuine black leather keyfob which the badge is mounted onto is also in very good condition with the slightest marks showing that it has been used .

The leather is slightly marked beneath the badge where the badge has lain and the reverse of the leather keyfob is virtually unmarked apart from a few wrinkles in the leather as you would expect to see on a keyfob which is in genuine leather .

If the keyring is being bought to be used as intended – then a keyring like this one is ideal and represents a considerable saving over buying a similar keyring in mint condition .

Examples of these keyrings do occasionally appear on internet auction sites but are almost always in well used condition  – these keyrings tended to be used on a daily basis and the vitreous enamel badges almost always have chips in the enamel around the edge of the badge and the leather keyfobs will be showing signs of wear .

These are the keyrings which were supplied with the top of the range cars which BMW had in it’s 1980s & 1990s line up.

These keyrings were almost certainly produced by Manhattan Windsor of Birmingham – some were produced with their name on the back of the badges but most were unmarked like this example – most probably because BMW specified that they be left plain .

Manhattan Windsor were the premier manufacturer of quality automotive keyrings in the 1990s – sadly they closed their doors some years ago.

These are superb quality keyrings which any BMW salesperson would have been proud to hand over with a new car .

These keyrings exhibit the level of quality which British manufacturers were capable of producing before many automotive keyrings later became mass produced throw -away items with plastic resin badges mounted onto imitation leather keyfobs .

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