Mi key rings finally gid up t'ghost. Had it since I went to t'Paul Sample roadshow at Carnells in Doncaster, in 1989, and it's bin on mi bike key since.
It's done well, I bet a sadler could do something with it, to at least keep the badge with new leather. Scary title given all of your news recently, don't do that to us!! Thinking about it, perhaps it's a good time for a new key ring with the little fella on or something.
alas.... stopped in 2009 or thereabouts i believe... are you going to repair..or bodge the Ogri onto another leather fob...or keep it as is as a collectable
You had me startled there! Be more careful mate, there might be people with heart conditions on here!
Well,I am ex Navy.............. That's very kind o thi, mate. Just put thi number on here, and I can ring thi then................
Hey @Foxy1 you being ex Navy you should be good with a needle and thread you could swap the badge over to another fob with a little imagination and even cutting a slot in the middle of the retainer link if needed, I have an old fob from the late 70's in good order you can have mate just cut the badge off and swap, if you are interested pm your details and I will send it to you.
Mine went the same way and is stuck in a drawer these days. Maybe I should resurrect it? Still got some old Bike magazines in the loft and two Ogri collection books plus the Lapel badge is still going strong. Circa 1981-82 I think.
I have a few other leather fob key rings I could put t'badge on, thanks for t'offers. I quite like @Notso's idea about gettin a new key ring wit young uns pic on.
That should be an easy repair, i can send you some leather to patch it and keep most of the original leather if you fancy having a go.
Foxy1 I know how you feel. I've had an embossed leather Ogri keyring since the mid 80s but it eventually gave up too - totally gutted
