Concorde key fob

Concorde key fob
This belonged to my father, who was given it on his Concorde flight in the 1980s. Sterling silver with what appears to be reptile leather.

Dad was always in a hurry and hated sitting still for long, so he absolutely loved the Concorde. Of course, he could not afford flights like that, but I think he was offered a free trip by whatever company he was contracting for.

Oh, you just reminded me to look...and I found a lot of different kinds. They must have ordered different designs a lot. tinyurl.com/y64wtw4q A good promotional item for their wealthy, mostly male, passengers. (My dad only fit one criterion - guess which!) I didn't see one like this, however.

EDIT: Just found one!

Well found, it had me stumped. Not as valuable as I'd thought though. Not that you'd sell it I'm sure.

Well, I might. It's a dilemma, because there is so much left behind and so few people would would want it or take care of it. My son loves these things, but there is only so much he wants around the house! My grandchildren like them in theory, but it would all just go into a pile.

It does seem this design is rare. I only saw one online and quite a few of other designs.

OH, THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR, PAM! THEY PROMOTED THEMSELVES LIKE CRAZY, BUT THE TRUTH WAS THAT VERY FEW PEOPLE COULD AFFORD TO FLY THE CONCORDE!
