Historical Mining Rail used in the Gold/Silver Mines of Montana Keychain.

Description

Listing is for 1 Keychain in either a Gold or Silver Keyring. If you like, please add a message when your checking out or send me a message on the color you prefer.  And I just recently started adding small vials of Gold/Silver flakes to the orders for my way of saying thank you. Not worth much, but kinda cool. Thanks.
My Keychains are made from 8 pound rail used in Gold and Silver Mines in Montana( Rail weight is measured by the yard, 1 yard or three feet of this is 8 pounds) and was used during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. These are from Rail I personally brought back to Nebraska and handmade them from a piece of Rail that was manufactured in Colorado in 1881 for some of the Gold and Silver Mines up in Montana as well as throughout America. I cut, cleaned it up and made them into these awesome Keychains. They are just under 3/8 inches thick and weight around 1 1/2 ounces. I use one of the strongest and thickest jump rings possible. I want you to be able to display it on your Keychain for everyday use and not worry about losing it like some of those other thin rings. These are something a Railroader, Railroad Fan, Rail Fan Organizations, Miner or just something anyone would like to have that is just really cool and Historical. Some of my buyers are handing them out to their employees and some are using them in silent auctions or raising funds for their clubs. “MADE IN AMERICA”.  Please email if you have any questions or would like more images. I will answer you back just as soon as I can since I’m a working Railroader myself. I restored the rail close to its actually color when it was first made and coated them in penetrating oil. These, as well as some of my others pieces, are not clear coated. Most want to feel the natural history to them. Every piece is just a little different from the others so each piece has it’s own little personality to it.
This is for 1 Keychain and will be shipped in a padded envelope. All my Items have a 30 day return policy on them.
GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC. STEEL WAS MADE AND USED IN THE USA. CUT AND MADE INTO A KEYCHAIN BY A RAILROADER. 8 POUND RAIL HASN’T BEEN MADE IN A LONG TIME SO, WHEN ITS GONE, IT’S PROBABLY GONE FOREVER.
