IListing is for 1 Keychain in Silver Keyring. If you like, please add me a message if you would like one with a Gold jump ring and keychain. Thank You! -Steve

Keychain is 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. I handmade these from a piece of Rail that was manufactured in Colorado in 1881 for the Gold and Silver mines in Montana. One of the last things I do is insert one of the thickest Jump Rings I can get through, almost 2 mm thick. Each piece is different in its own way and are clear coated to help protect the 18k Gold inlay. Ones without Gold are on a different listing. Please send me a message if you have any questions. 

This is for 1 Keychain and will be shipped in a padded envelope. 

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.
