MG ( MGA ) - original vintage late 1950s Gale Melville dealership keyring - collector's item

An original Gale Melville MG keyring which will have been produced in the late 1950s .

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

Dating from the late 1950s – when there were plenty of MGAs, Magnettes and still some MGTDs & MGTFs  in daily use on the roads – this keyring would be ideal for use with any of those models.

The nickel plated translucent red vitreous enamel badge is in excellent condition whilst the genuine tan leather keyfob shows evidence of the wear associated with a leather keyfob which has travelled very many thousands of miles dangling from the ignition of an MG motor car .

The keyring is still in a very serviceable condition – and has many miles left in it yet !

The reverse of the keyfob is gold embossed with the details of the supplying Norfolk UK dealership who would have supplied the brand new MG car which this keyring would have been supplied with- although the details are becoming rather faint with use .

The keyring was made by Gale Melville Ltd of Surbiton in Surrey – one of the first manufacturers of automotive keyrings – their details are marked on the back of the badge .

Keyrings like this one were produced to be used in open top MG cars in all weathers and not many original 65 year old MG leather keyrings like this one will have survived .

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