VW factory key tag - with your VIN   Price: $12
I will be stamping tags at the OCTO show this February 14th. The first 3 customers to bring me a Valentine card get a free tag custom stamped on the spot. Don't forget your VIN!

I only have about 50 blanks left so act fast! I am not sure I will be making another run when all the blanks are gone.

Background:
VW's were sold with a metal key tag on the key ring. The tag had the VIN (chassis number) stamped into it so the factory and dealer could keep track of which keys went with each car. The tag design changed through the years but all had the VW logo and the chassis number stamped into it. The tags were made of a soft aluminum alloy and were meant to be temporary. They were often discarded by the first owner as soon as he put his VW keys on his key ring.

Reproduction key tag:
My reproduction factory key tag is an exact match to the original. I will stamp the tag with YOUR cars VIN, just like it came from the factory. The tag is made of the same thickness aluminum alloy and matches the design of the original 1958 tag shown in the photo. The tag is about 2.5" long and 0.5" tall and comes complete with a 20mm key ring. The reproduction is stamped with the VW logo and your VIN and/or whatever other information you would like to include.

Check this thread to see more examples of original tags:

Ordering:
Send me your chassis number with payment and I will create a personalized key tag for your vehicle. IMPORTANT: INCLUDE YOUR VIN/CHASSIS NUMBER WITH YOUR PAYPAL PAYMENT SO I CAN KEEP YOUR ORDER STRAIGHT. PUT QUOTE MARKS AROUND THE NUMBERS / WORDS YOU WANT ON THE TAG. UNLESS YOU STATE OTHERWISE, I WILL ASSUME YOU ONLY WANT THE VIN STAMPED. INCLUDE ANY SPACES JUST AS YOU WOULD LIKE IT STAMPED.

$12 includes WORLDWIDE SHIPPING for a custom stamped tag with your VIN and the VW logo. Order a second tag for your spare set of keys.

I can also make custom tags with your name, dealership information, car club name or whatever else you would like. Custom name tags are $12 each.

Double sided tags are $17 SHIPPED. For example, put the VIN on the front and the dealership name on the back of the tag.

Multiple item discount for tags with the same stamping for car clubs, businesses, etc. Inquire for multiple item discount.

A maximum of about 14 characters will fit on the tag.
