Mercedes Benz – original early 1970s Manhattan Products badge remounted onto a new leather keyfob

An original Mercedes Benz keyfob badge which 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 keyring with this badge to offer – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

This original vitreous enamel keyfob badge is in good condition with cobalt blue enamelling and the Mercedes star picked out in primrose yellow enamel .

So far as we can remember it is the only Mercedes Benz keyfob badge in these enamel colours which we have listed – very unusual .

There are no enamel chips and the only thing to note is some wear to the surface of the enamel at the base of the badge which can be seen in the listing photos

We have remounted the badge onto a new keyfob in full grain black leather .

The badge was produced by Manhattan Products of Birmingham and will be one of the very first badges which they will ever have produced.

You will just be able to see their very discrete ‘ MP’ hidden amongst the stippling on the reverse of the badge .

They later became the famous Manhattan Windsor concern which went on to produce some of the finest automotive keyrings which have ever been produced.

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