Description: This vintage KEY-BAK retractable key chain reel clip is a must-have for collectors of unique and functional keychains. Made of durable metal (no cheap plastic parts), it features a convenient belt clip that allows for easy attachment to clothing or bags. The chain and retractable reel ensure that your keys (or badge) are always within reach and secure. The quick draw chain does extend approximately 22 inches and the dimensions of the holder are 2 x 2 x 1/2". The stainless steel retractor has "NU-BALL MFG CO". stamp on one side and "KEY-BAK LUMMIS MFG Co Pasadena 8 Calif Pat No 2732148" information on the other (for those interested in companies' history and origins in the United States). The retracting reel inventor was W. R. Lummis and the patent was filed Nov 1, 1951 and granted in Jan 1956. Whether you're a collector or simply in need of a reliable keychain or badge holder, this retractable key chain is durable, reliable and interesting! Due to the age, there are a few minor cosmetic spots/scratches but overall it is shiny and in good condition - as shown in the pictures. The key chain belonged to a Navy veteran who in his later years was a school janitor (from mid 1960s to early 1970s).
