This is an original keyring which will have been produced around over 50 years ago .

When this keyring has been sold this listing will be cancelled

This keyring was made by Melsom Products Ltd of Birmingham who were one of the main UK manufacturers of automotive keyrings .

At that time almost all keyrings for the world’s cars were made in Birmingham – it was quite an industry.

The keyring is in very good condition for it’s age with a vitreous enamel badge mounted onto a keyfob in genuine tan leather .

The enamel badge is in mint condition whilst the leather keyfob ( with Melsom’s trademark ‘keyflix’ embossed into the leather beneath the badge ) has become supple with use – like a well worn pair of leather shoes .

The logo featured on these badges is particularly relevant for Ford motor cars of the period .

Original keyrings like this one are quite rare as they were used on a daily basis at the time and the leather keyfobs eventually wore out and the keyring was discarded.

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