Opel Kadett - original vintage new old stock late 1960s Signa Crest torpedo keyring - collector's item

An original Opel Kadett torpedo keyring which will have been produced in the late 1960s .

We are listing just this one example of this keyring  – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

This keyring is in mint new old stock condition and will be original & correct for use with 1962 -1973 Opel Kadett .

The vitreous enamel badge is mounted onto a torpedo keyfob in genuine black leather .

The reverse of the keyfob is gold embossed ‘ REAL MOROCCO – MADE IN ENGLAND ‘

Morocco was the term for goatskin and the pebbly grain of the leather suggests that this keyfob is indeed goatskin .

Made at the time by Signa Crest who were possibly the final division of Craftsman who were originally Castles Unit Developments of Church Gate, Leicester England .

In the early 1970s almost all automotive keyrings and keyfob badges for the world’s cars were still produced in England – it was quite an industry.

No records survive – but it is thought that Castles ( the famous CUD keyring Co. ) later became Craftsman and an American connection is rumoured but so far not substantiated.

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