Post by malder »

Hello, i got this at a sale and Im thinking its a key fob but not sure

On one side it says

"Le Parc"
"Westin Demeure Hotels Paris"
with a crest on top

on the other side it looks like a silver mark at the bottom but i couldnt get in close enought to see it.

Any help will be great

I recall having looked at this before the pix were removed -
it is a mailer for a hotel key.

Not everyone still does it, but some hotels, banks etc. provided this accessory for one's key(s). Let's say you left town with the key in your suitcase, or you lost your keys attached to a bank mailer, the finder would drop the lot into the mailbox and the post office would forward the lot - in this instance to the Le Parc.

I still have one from a bank that was given to my mother.
