Glenn Curtiss Antique Key Fob Tag Ring Lost Key Finder, 1901 Patent

I have up for sale an interesting antique / vintage original Patented Sept 24, 1901 Silver tone metal Lost Key Return Mailer Key Ring Fob . I believe that it was manufactured by the Glenn Curtiss ME Company of Hammondsport , NY and was meant to be used by people who lost their motorcycle keys to be returned to the owner by mail. The fob measures approx 2-1/4" long by 1" width. The fob opens when the right end is turned clockwise - shown in the pics when opened. ONLY THROW OUT THE BOXES AND PACKAGING AFTER YOU HAVE INSPECTED THE ITEM OR ITEMS AND FIND NO DAMAGE other than what may be noted in the condition report or shown in the pics. IN THE RARE EVENT YOU RECEIVED THE ITEM AND IT IS DAMAGED -CONTACT ME ASAP - KEEP THE BOX AND ALL PACKAGING MATERIALS JUST AS THE ITEM ARRIVED AS THEY WOULD BE NEEDED TO HELP PROCESS THE INSURANCE CLAIM.

I PACKAGE TO THE VERY BEST OF MY ABILITIES BUT ONCE IT IS IN THE CARRIERS HANDS IT MIGHT NOT GET HANDLED THE WAY WE WOULD LIKE.
