BSA – original new old stock 1960s vitreous enamel melsom badge remounted onto a new leather keyfob – slight flaw

An original BSA keyfob badge which will have been produced in the 1960s which we have remounted onto a new leather keyfob as can be seen in the photos.

When this keyring with this badge has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

This particular badge has a very slight flaw in the white enamel which can be seen in the enlarged high resolution photos .

This badge is original & correct for use with any 1960s BSA motorcycle .

It is a brand new original old stock item dating from the 1960s which came to us with other BSA badges from the closed leatherworks of Heath Machin & Co. of Walsall who ( as well as making their own keyrings ) mounted keyfob badges onto leather keyfobs for Melsom Products Ltd of Birmingham whose name appears on the back of the badges.

At the time of Heath & Machin closing – these badges had not yet been mounted onto leather keyfobs .

Melsom Products Ltd were the most famous and prolific of British car & motorcycle keyring manufacturers during the 1960s and very early 1970s .

We had always assumed that Melsoms mounted their badges onto their own leather keyfobs – and it has taken us 10 years to discover that this was not always the case.

Heath Machin & Co. were bought out by new owners in the very early 1970s ( coinciding with Melsom’s demise ) and continued making small leather goods into the 1990s.

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