First Pressing Leather Keychain – Vinyl Collector Gift

About this piece

Among vinyl collectors a first pressing is the prize, a copy from the earliest run of a record, made close to its original release. Collectors learn to read the matrix numbers etched into the run-out groove to tell one from a later reissue. A vinyl disc sits at the top above First in brush script, with PRESSING in engraved capitals below.

The keychain is itself a pressing, since a metal die sinks the design into full-grain leather with no ink anywhere. Dark espresso is a deep coffee brown close to the black of a record. Each fob is made by hand after you order. Gold foil is available at checkout, and US shipping is free.
