Morris Oxford – vitreous enamel badge mounted onto a new leather rectangular keyfob

NOW SOLD – sorry this keyring has now been sold and can no longer be ordered

A new vitreous enamel Morris Oxford keyfob badge which will have been produced in Birmingham within the last few years which we have mounted onto a new leather keyfob as can be seen in the photos .

English made vitreous enamel badges like this one used to be generally available up until fairly recently mounted onto imitation leather keyfobs ( which is where this badge was sourced from )

This is not an original vintage badge – it will have been produced just a few years ago and is not to be confused with an original vintage badge from the 1960s or 1970s – this badge was made much later.

We have just this one keyring with this badge mounted onto a rectangular keyfob to offer  – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

Superb quality ‘old school’ vitreous enamel badges like these were produced in Birmingham  with ‘MADE IN ENGLAND’ marked on the reverse of the badge – probably from the original 1960s or 1970s badge dies – and were available up until quite recently .

We have remounted this badge onto a new leather keyfob in black saddlery hide .

Sadly vitreous enamel badges like this one are apparently no longer produced in England .

This badge is identical to the original keyfob badges which were produced in the 1960s & 1970s – but this badge is not an original badge, it was produced much later .

New reproduction badges will now usually be produced in modern resin based enamel – not vitreous enamel like this one – they are most unlikely to have ‘MADE IN ENGLAND’ marked on the reverse because they are no longer made in England .

Maybe one day in the future beautiful quality vitreous enamel badges like these will once again be made in England ……………………..but the areas where the workshops once stood have now generally been built over with housing estates and the craftsmen with their knowledge and skills have gone .

The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive SMOSO  00/53   01/23
