Ford – original vintage new old stock 1960s/ early 1970s ‘ TREND ‘ keyring – collector’s item

A superb original new old stock Ford keyring which will have been produced in the 1960s or early 1970s .

We have just this one example of this keyring to offer – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled .

This keyring is in new old stock condition and will probably never have been used .

It constantly amazes us that 50 year old keyrings like this one still turn up in this brand new condition and we wonder where they can have been for all those years !

Possibly long forgotten together with the car that accompanied them and hidden at the back of a drawer ?

The jewellery quality nickel plated vitreous enamel badge in black enamel is mounted onto a keyfob in a particularly fine grained grade of genuine black leather gold embossed on the reverse ‘ TREND- REAL LEATHER ‘ .

The leather keyfob has some internal stiffening so that it’s shape maintains in use rather than becoming rather supple as most leather keyrings do .

The reverse of the badge is marked ‘ MADE IN BRITAIN ‘ – not a statement made very often nowadays .

This keyring really is a miniature work of art !

Keyrings like this one were produced by a British Company known as ‘ TREND ‘ who also made keyrings for other makes of car .

Very little can be found out about ‘TREND’ but they may have had a connection with Alexander Accessories  – Alexanders marketed high quality wooden rimmed steering wheels, keyrings and other good quality accessories at the time .

The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive – a superb keyring and the only Ford keyring of it’s type which we have ever listed .
