VA E TORNA – original 1960s/ 1970s ? keyring

An original keyring which we would think will have been produced in the 1960s or very early 1970s .

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

We have very limited knowledge of what this keyring could be and have described it below as best we can .

Someone with rather more knowledge than us may recognise it as being a rare and valuable item and snap it up !

This has happened in several cases over the years with other ‘mystery’ keyrings !

Rather a mystery keyring which will have been produced in Italy as we can see ‘ Milano ‘ ( Milan ) on the reverse of the keyring and the text is in Italian .

The keyring comprises of a brass centre contained within a rubber tyre surround which is connected to the gilt plated key clasp by means of a few links of gilt plated chain .

The rubber tyre has a diameter of 1.4″ ( 36mm )

The key clasp has a knurled threaded section which can be unscrewed to allow keys to be fitted as can be seen in the final listing photo .

A stylised horse is leaping over a speeding car together with the text ” Va E Torna ” – ” It goes and comes back ”

” S II Prudente ” may be translated as  ” Be careful ”

Rather worn on the reverse of the badge could be ” Bertone ” – if so then this keyring could be associated with the famous Italian design company which specialised in car styling and coachbuilding – but we may be getting carried away now …………………!

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