The Set
A collection of assorted vintage keychains drawing together casino memorabilia, automotive branding, novelty and travel themes, in mixed materials of brass, metal alloys, leather and acrylic.
A cast metal Fitzgerald's Casino Reno brass fob anchors the group with its weight and detail. A Porsche badge keychain and a Chevrolet emblem keychain carry the automotive thread, a red dice keychain nods to vintage gaming culture, and leather and acrylic tags add contrast in texture and tone.
The tones are mixed metallics with red, green, black and clear accents. The metal has taken a patina, the edges have softened, and subtle wear runs throughout.
History & Provenance
The pieces come from mixed origins within the United States and were made across roughly the 1970s to the 1990s, the dating drawn from the brands and the materials rather than from any dated mark.
Fitzgerald's Casino in Reno gives the group a specific local anchor, and the Porsche and Chevrolet emblems date from the era when automotive branding was issued freely as pocket hardware.
The authentic wear and patina across the pieces is the strongest evidence of use. Each one once lived in a pocket, attached to keys that opened a car, a hotel room or a door somewhere else.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
What makes the group work is not perfection but variation. It feels collected rather than assembled, discovered over time rather than bought all at once.
Styled in a tray, hung on a hook, or simply kept as a tactile collection, the pieces bring character and narrative into a room. They are not decorative in the traditional sense. They are evidence of time and movement.
For a collector of Americana, automotive memorabilia or Reno casino ephemera, a small grouping like this creates a surprisingly strong presence.
Every piece is packed with professional-grade materials: multiple foam layers, double-boxing, directional and fragile handling labels. For large furniture we use custom timber crating. We photograph packing before dispatch and can provide images on request.
White-glove delivery is complimentary within 100 miles of Reno, NV. National shipping quotes provided at checkout. All shipments are photographed and documented. Damage claims must be filed with the carrier; we provide all documentation needed to support your claim.
Local pickup is available at Viridian HQ (Reno, NV) with 2–4 days notice. Contact us to arrange. Private viewings also available.
All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
Have a question? — we're happy to provide additional photos, condition detail, or discuss the piece directly.
