What's the oldest / oddest thing you have on your keyring?

[Wacky Racer]

As per thread title.

I have a tiny flat pocket keyring screwdriver that was a free gift, stuck with sellotape to the front cover of a copy of "Practical Motorist" I bought in 1968.

I have a bottle opener than I got from a police road safety campaign about 10 years ago

[phil1979]

Edit: From a fashion crime I committed a long, long time ago.

I had a zip...

It was from the jeans I was wearing when I was ceremoniously debagged on my 21st by my friends. The zipper bit came off in the skuffle, it lasted about 20 years until it finally wore through.

Nothing odd on any of mine but, apart from the original key, for oldest it's the original Warner's Peugeot dealer keyring for my 205 GTI.

Oldest thing is the key to my bike U lock (currently attached to the work bike rack with no bike!), the lock was bought around ~1987/88 I think, certainly used it at sixth form to lock up my bike.

Aside from that nothing of note - small LED light with flat batteries, trolley token with a football pattern, electronic fob for the door at work, and several keys.

This keyring was made for me in about 1977 by friend.

Ex BR nickel plated fork, straighten, cut off a tine, stamped, curled and polished. The tine on the far left got burnt off when I ill advisedly poked it into a fire pump I was test running and it shorted out. This would have been around 1990, lost touch so I couldn't get another one made.

He had a sideline turning BR cutlery into slave bangles and stuff, then selling to hippies. Raw materials were free!

That is brilliant.

I have a bottle opener/key ring that dates from 1986 ,bought in Arlanda airport ,Stockholm.

It's a little worse for wear nowadays.

I know a jeweller who does this sort of work if interested

[FerdiZ28]

No picture as not sure if it's allowed but I have a tiny pot of ejaculate fashioned from a nanocache container.

Reminds me of my roots.

[Timfy]

I have a keyring with a picture of my daughter, and a house key on my car key, nothing else.

Bike keys have a ridiculous bunch of things from St Christopher, A Jack Daniels poker chip and the old tallies we used to hand over to draw keys & radio at work.

Too much history in this one

It's been with me everyday for the last 40yrs.

3/4 " brass bush with 1/2" internal thread , been on a keyring since 1984

Can't for the life of me remember where it came from or how it ended on the keyring.

[Roofless Toothless]

I have a photograph of a Fender Stratocaster that was used by Jimi Hendrix at a Rock Festival in Miami, before being smashed and burned by him at the end of the show. The bits were given to Frank Zappa by one of Hendrix's roadies, and the instrument was reconstructed and used by Zappa for many live performances through the seventies and eighties.

[Butter Face]

I have a slight odd bit of metal on my keys.



It’s a part of the front panel we had to cut to Fit my Supercharger..



Which was rendered completely pointless soon after when i fitted a front mount intercooler.



I keep it as a reminder that if you’re gonna do something, do it right the first time!

[Bristol spark]

I have a electric/gas box key on mine, which I'm told is really weird..

[Spunagain]

I bought a basket case Scimitar that my wife and I rebuilt from a guy in the nuclear industry. This tag was on the key ring. He said it was from a Trafalgar class nuclear submarine. I have kept it ever since as it makes me smile.

[AlexC1981]

I like the reactor compartment door one.

I don't have anything on my keyring as my keys are already bulky enough, but the ring itself is a climbing style mini D-ring that my friend who passed away gave to me. I'll keep that.

I like the look of these key organisers as my keys are always getting in a tangle like one of those metal impossible puzzle games. Not sure if it would work for me as I carry a chubb.
