This keyring is an original Ford dealership keyring which will have been issued during the late 1950s.

We have just this one keyring in slightly used condition to offer – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

We are also currently listing a new old stock example of this keyring ( unless now sold ) 

The keyrings came to us together – this one will obviously have been used in the car whilst the new old stock one will probably have had the spare keys attached and been left in the glovebox or forgotten in a drawer at home .

Just look at what you would have received from this dealership when you bought a new Ford motor car from them in the late 1950s !

This keyring is a little work of art made from top quality materials .

The vitreous enamel badge is mounted onto a keyfob in genuine tan pigskin leather – pigskin leather was and is a luxury material which was usually reserved for keyrings for prestige cars such as Aston Martin & Jaguar .

The reverse of the badge contains the dealership’s details and tells us that the keyring was produced by Marples & Beasley of Birmingham .

The enamel badge is absolutely perfect whilst the pigskin leather keyfob has some slight signs of having been used .

Dealerships often issued a couple of keyrings with new cars in those far-off and generous days .

One keyring was to use every day and the other was for the spare key which is probably what has happened with the keyring in this case…………this is the keyring which was used .

The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive – and what a lovely keyring to use with any 1950s or early 1960s Ford motor car
