Title: Source for Vintage Keychain?
Post by: blk65fstbk on April 12, 2014, 06:23:05 PM: I'm getting down to the small misc stuff now.

Does anybody know a source of vintage keychains. Something that would be like what would have been used in the mid to late 60's. Could be generic or Ford / Mustang specific.

Thanks.

Do you have any specifically from Lutz Ford ?

another set of keys made, the running horse key had too small of a
hole for his keychain, he had keys cut at the store that had a larger hole.
Boy, strange things we remember!
