Kootenai Key Ring

$20.00

I learned to drive - oh, a long time ago now - up in North Idaho. Kootenai (koot-nee) County. Navigating black ice in the winter. Racing up and down one-track logging roads in the summer. I had a beat-up ‘65 Ford Fairlane. Black with a red interior. Four doors. 3-on-the-tree. “Armstong” power steering. Bad brakes. May-pop tires. 4-60 AC. Back then, car keys were these slim, little slips of metal, the same size as your house key. One key for the doors and ignition, one for the trunk. They fit so easily in your pocket. You could buy these nifty little purse things that all your key's could fit snugly inside of. Fast-forward to the 1980s, and keys gained fat plastic handles when auto makers started putting coded chips in keys to make cars harder to steal. A few years later, automakers added remote entry keys, and those little slips of metal became bulbous, plastic fobs from which the key protruded. And now we have keyless keys, which are nothing but the fob. Well, you still gotta corral these things, along with all your other keys. You need a key ring.

The Kootenai Key Ring. Named after the Native American tribe that resided in North Idaho and Montana, this key ring is an attractive way to keep your keys together. Made of tough, veg tanned leather, with the Ben Rhodes Handcrafted Leather Goods logo (large or small) deeply embossed on one side. Large, heavy-duty split ring holds plenty of keys.
