    So, I just found this little key fob, key chain thing.
    I searched everywhere I could think of, couldn't find anything like it.
    Curious if anyone here has seen one.
    One side is a non-branded tach, but looks just like the Mooneyes tach in my car.
    Other side is a bikini girl but I'm not really sure what the deal is with her head, looks odd. And there's a name under her feet.
    Any ideas? 20240406_151419.jpg 20240406_151432.jpg 20240406_151952.jpg 20240406_152004.jpg

  2. She's the "Lady Luck" girl, popular decal in the 50's.

    I see the sticker has a copyright date on it of 1941.
    Perhaps it was some WW II nose art???

    Can you squeeze the wire loop together to open one side so you can add or remove keys?
    She would look good with the keys to my 50 on her!

    We should start a vintage key chain thread. I have my 50 Pontiac keys on this one for the time being.

    The wire just comes off with a tug. Very secure, yet easy to pull off.

    I hit the fob with some polish compound. Came out a bit better. Still very deep scratches, but I can live with that. Taking them out would weaken (thin out) the plastic.

    I just started one. I wish I had cooler ones to show off like the Lady Luck one. :)
