Tags & Fobs

Average keys can have a rather auspicious past. The owner of an Architectural Salvage business shared the rest of the story (click the image)

Keys are often the last evidence of grand homes, hotels, cars, etc. As a collector, I watch for tags and fobs that tell compelling stories.

Iconic and highly collectible, these lost key return tags often accompany vintage automobile keys.

Promotional key fobs have been around as long as cars have.  Colors, shapes and special functions made these tags attractive to consumers.

For generations, handsome leather cases have been used for advertising as well as fashion.   

These handmade fobs and tags are rich in character. Many offer clues to the use of the keys to which they are attached.
