Default Key chain

Did Model A's come with a key chain from the factory? Just curious.

I found them on a nail in a garage that was being torn down, just a simple wire ring

Back when these cars were new, that was a common paper clip before they made them in the shape they are today! Yes the keys were attached with the round paper clip for every car. It wasn't long that dealers figured it out to give the new owner a key chain/fob something to keep their keys on with the dealership name and logo for advertising purposes.

I use an old UAW Ford Lock Out tag for a keychain. Looks nice, and has a little weight to it.
