We have just 2 of these original new old stock Vespa keyrings left to offer.

Original vintage keyrings in this condition for Vespa motor scooters are very rare – the keyrings were used on open scooters in all weathers and led a hard life !

Being new old stock – these are in brand new condition and were made by the firm of AE Wassell of Birmingham who made keyrings for the world’s motorcycles and scooters in the late 1950s and early 1960s. At that time almost all keyrings for cars, motorcycles & scooters were made in England – it was quite an industry.

The vitreous enamel badges are mounted onto genuine black leather keyfobs – excellent quality items for the time.

Although brand new old stock – the vitreous enamel on the badges was hand laid at the time with slight differences.

Both badges on these keyrings have a slight pinkish tinge to the light blue background enamel – this can just be seen in the enlarged high resolution listing photos.

This will have been there since the badges were fired in the kiln and is all part of the charm of a 50+ year old vintage keyring made long before modern automated processes became commonplace.

These keyrings are original & correct for use with any late 1950s or 1960s Vespa motor scooter.

When both keyrings have been sold this listing will be cancelled. SMOSO  00/55    07/22
