St. Andrews Old Course Leather Shield Keychain

This is a vintage-style souvenir keychain featuring the 'Old Course' emblem, likely sourced from St. Andrews, Scotland. The item consists of a pebble-grained burgundy or deep red leather fob with visible perimeter stitching. Attached to the leather via a metal loop is a gold-tone metal shield medallion. The medallion features an ornate border with a central green enamel crest containing a golden lion and the text 'Old Course' in a script font. The hardware includes a standard gold-colored split ring for keys. In terms of condition, the leather shows minor softening and surface wear consistent with light use. The metal shield exhibits light scuffing on the polished surfaces and a small amount of tarnishing or patina in the crevices of the ornate molding. The enamel remains mostly intact with strong color saturation. Based on the construction and styling, this piece appears to be a mid-to-late 20th-century commemorative item, likely from the 1980s or 1990s. The craftsmanship is indicative of standard quality commercial giftware typical of high-end golf course pro shops.
