    Cool post. Here's my favorite toy from when I was a young boy. They were my mom and dads from high school. I hate to think what happened to all the lead paint on the bowling pin.

    Those are pretty cool. How hard were they to make, and would you ever consider making one of those car club plaque key chains for another club? I would be willing to pay what you think its worth for time and material.

    I forgot this one....
    This was one made out of zinc that was passed out in the Chicago Worlds Fair at the Ford Exposition...commemorating Ford's progress in it's automotive design.
    I thought it would be a neat conversation piece to go with my '34.

    In the '70s I won a bunch of rabbits feet at the Wisconsin State Fair, probably tossing plastic rings onto glass liter bottles of soda...anyway, years -decades- later I find that the various charms match the paint on the cars in my fleet!

    This one is for my Safari wagon...also includes a Disabled Veterans plate as mentioned above.

    Another good thread, Ryan.

  13. The year was 1965 at O'CONNOR Ford and Mercury and if you purchased a new auto the keys would be in one of these. This set belongs to the 1965 Mustang that I still own >>>>.[​IMG]

    I've got the spare key to my grandfather's '49 chevy pickup thats in a leather sheath like the ones Tommy posted. The truck was sold after he died and my grandmother gave me the key along with the his 30-30 deer rifle. Great reminders of the man who I admired most while growing up.

  18. The keys to the Ford are on this ring, vintage Chevrolet nail/knife thingy... I attach it to the daily driver/house keys with a carbiner... I threw the vintage lighters in there because I could...:)

    That's funny..my 5yr old nephews go to toy (despite 1000s of other toys) are 'his' set of keys complete with Chuck Taylor (his super hero who lives at Disneyworld :p:D) key chain. He has driven more miles with those keys then most people will ever see in a lifetime!

    I have one of those little license plates on my '53 Chevy keys along with an old Chevy logo key chain. On the Model A keys are the church key I found in the roadster (I figure it is one of his old girlfriends house keys!) and a roadster key chain from Brookville.

    I recently bought a collection of old key chains from around the world at an auction that a lady collected for 50 years. I'll post up a pic in the next couple days.
     
  20. Looking forward to seeing those

    I have one just like that for my Bonneville, it has sort of a generic Pontiac-looking car on it. The trouble with it is it's so small I can lose it in the bottom of my pocket sometimes. :)

    Found these 60's Rat Fink Bubblegum machine key chains at an estate sale last weekend. I was planning on putting them in the classifieds so they will be there shortly. I think I may have a couple disabled veterans miniature Indiana license plate key chains like the ones in the earlier posts also.

    I used to live right down the street from the Knights Inn that the key chain in the first photos came from.

    I put one of these on my Riv key chain. They are pre 1948. I think that's when Plomb became Proto.
