Lancia – original 1960s vitreous enamel on gilt badge remounted onto a new leather keyfob

An original Lancia keyfob badge which will have been produced in the late 1960s which we have remounted onto a new leather keyfob as can be seen in the photos.

When this keyring with this badge has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

A superb quality original Lancia keyfob badge which came to us from the leather works of Heath & Machin & Co. of Walsall which changed hands in the 1970s and then finally closed in the 1990s.

This gilt plated badge is in excellent physical condition with hand laid vitreous enamel .

Towards the base of the badge the surface of the white enamel has some wear as can be seen in the enlarged high resolution photos .

The gilt plating would originally have been very bright but has mellowed to an attractive ‘antique’ gold finish as these gilt plated badges always do .

This badge will have been made by Heath & Machin of Walsall for mounting onto one of their own leather keyfobs .

At that time almost all keyrings and keyfob badges for the world’s cars were made in England – it was quite an industry which has now moved to The Far East,

We have re-mounted the badge onto a new keyfob in full grain black leather as can be seen in the photos.

Heath & Machin made small leather goods and keyrings and also mounted keyfob badges for other manufacturers most notably Melsom Products Ltd of Birmingham .

This badge is original & correct for use with any 1960s or early 1970s Lancia motor car .

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