An original vintage Maserati keyring which is in worn condition will have been produced in the late 1960s or early 1970s .
When this keyring has been sold this listing will be cancelled .
An original Maserati keyring which will have been produced in the late 1960s or early 1970s by a British Company known as ‘Trend’ .
Very few of these Maserati Trend keyrings can ever have been produced – this is only the 2nd complete example which we have ever seen over the last 10 years .
This keyring is original & correct for use with any late 1960s or early 1970s Maserati motor car .
This keyring is in worn condition but would still be perfectly serviceable – there are still many miles left in it yet !
We know from long experience that it is not every customer who is looking for mint condition perfection in a keyring – many prefer a keyring which has ‘had a life’ – which this one evidently has presumably in a Maserati !
The vitreous enamel badge is still perfectly recognisable but has an abundance of enamel chips – particularly around the edge of the badge .
The black leather keyfob is well worn in – like a comfortable pair of shoes but the stitching is still good and tight and the keyring is still in good useable condition .
The keyring was made by a manufacturing business whose trademark was ‘Trend’ – their name would have been gold embossed onto the back of the keyfob within a stylised flag but has worn off – we do see examples of their keyrings for other makes of car from time to time.
In the 1960s and 1970s almost all keyrings for the world’s cars were made in England – it was quite an industry.
Despite comprehensive research we have never discovered who Trend actually were !
Small enamelling businesses came & went rather rapidly in the 1960s – many were based in the Birmingham area which had a tradition of vitreous enamelling.
There may have been a tie-up with a badgemaker known as ‘Alexander’ – occasionally a badge marked ‘Alexander’ crops up mounted onto a ‘Trend’ leather keyfob.
This keyring was a top quality British made item produced at a time when many items like this were becoming mass produced & very poorly finished .
The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive. SMOSO 00/55 12/21
