Toyota Land Cruiser – original vintage ‘To-Yo-Ta’ 1970s melsom keyring – collectors item

NOW SOLD – sorry these keyrings have now been sold and can no longer be ordered

Original vintage Toyota keyrings which will have been produced in the 1970s.

When all these keyrings have been sold this listing will be cancelled.

We have just a few of these spectacular and very scarce original vintage Toyota keyrings which will date from the 1970s.

They are new old stock and have never been used – hence their condition is virtually mint.

The nickel plated vitreous enamel badges are mounted onto black keyfobs.

They were made by Melsom Products Ltd of Birmingham at the time – Melsom’s details are cast into the back of the badges .

At that time almost all keyrings for the world’s cars were made in England – it was quite an industry.

In all our years of dealing with vintage keyrings we had never seen any of these keyrings before – all we knew was that they related to Toyota and possibly to Land Cruiser.

Luckily a friend drives a classic Land Cruiser and he confirms that these badges are associated with Toyota Land Cruiser.

The badges contain a form of Japanese writing known as Katakana and spells the 3 characters ‘To’, ‘Yo’ and ‘Ta ‘- which means ‘TOYOTA’ .

These keyrings are original & correct for any 1970s or slightly earlier Toyota Land Cruiser ( or any later Land Cruiser ! ) and are rare survivors of the keyrings which were produced for use with the vehicles at the time.

When all of the keyrings have been sold then this listing will be cancelled. SMOSO  00/56   10/24
