Morris Mini-Minor – original vintage early 1960s new old stock IBEX keyring

Original vintage new old stock Morris Mini-Minor keyrings which will have been produced in the early 1960s .

Just 5 keyrings to offer – when all 5 keyrings have been sold this listing will be cancelled.

These keyrings are in new old stock condition with a jewellery quality vitreous enamel badge mounted onto a keyfob in genuine black leather which was known in the trade as ‘elephant hide’ due to the most attractive heavily grained texture of the leather .

Made in England in the 1960s by a firm of leathergoods manufacturers known as ‘IBEX’  who were founded in Northamptonshire in 1957 .

IBEX went on to produce a very well known range of leather belts which were sold all over the world .

We do sometimes come across these early IBEX keyrings for other makes of car with their most distinctive ‘ elephant hide ‘ keyfobs which are always marked ‘ MADE IN BRITAIN’ on the reverse of the badge ( how often do you read that phrase nowadays ? )

The final photo shows the first row of these keyrings on the original early 1960s display board which the keyrings came to us mounted onto .
