It must be hard to pick a favorite as there are a couple of hundred different ones to choose.  There are leather, plastic, metal and novelty fobs from all over the United States and even Argentina and Israel.  Some are made to hold your rolled up drivers license in a tube and some will hold change for a parking meter.  What ever you collect they make an interesting display at local and National Meets.  Many also have a dealers name and address embossed on them and it would be fun to find a dealers fob from where your car was first sold or a dealer near your home!  They are not easy to find.

A few of the fobs and keys from my collection. The Dauphine and Rural key chains came from a friend in Brazil and included an interesting ceramic ash tray and unusual Aero Willys horn button that I'll share in another post.

Found this Carabela IKA fob at a local swap meet a couple weeks ago. The reverse almost looks like there is an area that could be engraved. Any ideas?

Thanks for showing us that one.  I have a similar one with a different key holder and mine is plain on the reverse and just like yours on the front. another IKA key chain has a red IKA on white background and black lower color on the round emblem.

Here's the one that came with Edgar Kaiser's Henry J. If you look at the lic number on it, it matches the one in the Russ Spaulding photo (also attached).

I like the Keystone Kustom Klassic rims on his Henry J.  I had them on one of my vehicles back then.
