Title: Key rings
Post by: simonandjuliet on 17 May, 2014, 09:12:09 AM
I picked these up at a Vide-Grenier last week.

I think they are reasonably old, dry leather, lovely enamel etc. 1970's ??

Any other suggestions?

Sweet.

Could be earlier. Seems to echo Fulvia Sport badging, also Flavia, and Rad badge of Aprilia (!!!)????

These are the same as the (original) key rings which came with my 1969 Fulvia GTE and are rather nice.
Something makes me think that Harry Manning used to give them away to people he liked?

I picked up a nice silver key ring a couple of years ago in Imola, similar little shield emblem on it

Should be OK for the Appia then ....

I picked these up for little/no money because Lancia is not a big marque down here however from time to time you see proper Michelin/Bibendum key rings which cost a FORTUNE ! They are cute but I don't think are worth 25 euros

Frank - what age is your keyring, do you think ?

Its on a square plain silver base, they said it was 50s/60s, they had 2 or 3 of differing designs for sale

I have seen those keyrings (as in the first photo) on late series Aurelias, and on Flaminias. They must have been first released end of the fifties, and then used I think until the Fiat takeover.

Nice find, and certainly suitable for an Appia!

I found this today, at an antiques fair, perhaps part of a keyring? 70s/80s? Earlier?

The key rings starting this thread look as if they could be using the C pillar badger from a Flaminia Sedan.

These are on e-bay at the moment.
