Honda motorcycle - original early 1970s vitreous enamel badge remounted onto a new leather keyfob

An original Honda keyfob badge  which we would think will have been produced in the early 1970s which we have remounted onto a new leather keyfob as can be seen in the photos .

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

We don’t often list original 50 -odd year old Honda motorcycle keyfob badges in this condition .

This superb Honda motorcycle vitreous enamel badge is in mint condition ( apart from the nickel plating on the back of the badge being rather thin ) and we have remounted it onto a new keyfob in black saddlery hide .

The nickel plating on the back of the badge is so thin that the base metal shows through – but this hardly matters !

No maker’s mark on the back ( not unusual ) but almost certainly produced in Birmingham .

The badge is relatively small ( as befits a motorcycle ) and looks as though it could have been made by AE Wassell of Birmingham – but so far as we are aware Wassells had closed by the early 1970s .

In the 1970s almost all car & motorcycle keyrings were produced in England – it was quite an industry .

The original Honda motorcycle keyrings and keyfob badges which we see are usually damaged or worn  – they were used on open motorcycles in all weathers and suffered accordingly .

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