Ginetta - original vintage 1970s Renamel keyring - collector's item

An original Ginetta keyring which will have been produced in the 1970s .

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

This is the only example of one of these original Ginetta Renamel keyrings which we have ever listed – a very rare item .

This keyring is in good condition with an acrylic dome badge mounted onto a keyfob in genuine black leather .

The leather keyfob has a glossy grained texture on the face side and does resemble faux leather ………………but is actually genuine leather !

Made by Renamel of London who were the first keyring manufacturer to offer keyrings like these with acrylic dome badges  .

Their earliest keyrings were marked ‘RENAMEL’ – like this one .

These acrylic dome badges were quite a revelation at the time and did not chip when dropped onto a hard surface like the usual vitreous enamel keyfob badges .

Renamel used quite an original method of mounting their badges onto their early keyfobs as can be seen in the photos.

The badge has a close spaced double slot through which the badge strap is passed – which effectively locks the badge onto the strap .

Very simple and did work well ( still working well on this 40 year old keyring ! ) but it seems Renamel did later change to a more conventional method of mounting badges onto keyfobs .

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