Initial Keychain, Customizable: Personalized New Mom Mommy Gift, Child Baby Gift, Grandma Nana, Brass Letter, Initials Birth Date, Hearts

Product Info

This listing is for one (1) hand-stamped vintage brass letter keychain. The single, hand-stamped vintage solid brass alphabet letter / initial charm pendant with a loop at the top is strung on an antique brass color metal split ring (stronger than jump rings) and hung from a matching antique brass color 28mm (roughly 1-1/8 inches) keychain ring. These vintage charms originate from the 1970s-1980s, depending on the source quoted, and are available in a limited supply & in limited letter options as they are vintage and apparently are no longer being manufactured.

☆ ☆ ☆ P L E A S E be certain to read the ENTIRE LISTING DESCRIPTION prior to making a purchase. If you have any questions or want special characters (such as crosses, flowers, Greek letters, solid hearts, solid stars, baby footprints, a baby hand print, birds, etc.) stamped, please convo me PRIOR to placing your order. Stamping special images/characters will require a custom order.

❶ "Side to Stamp?" -- From the above drop-down menu, you can select whether you wan both sides OR only one side (and which side) of the letter charm on the keychain personalized with your hand-stamped information.
----------------------------------------------------------
◆ "Stamp FRONT Only" = up to 6 characters/letters/numbers/spaces will be stamped on the front (visible, curved) surface of the letter/initial charm... the "main" side that will be showing (as shown in photos #1, #2, and #4 ["Ella"]) in addition to the 3 stamped hearts OR 3 stamped stars
◆ "Stamp BACK Only" = up to 8 characters/letters/numbers/spaces will be stamped on the back (not visible, flat) surface of the letter/initial charm... the side that will be hidden (see photo #3 ["ERE"])
◆ "Stamp BOTH Sides" = up to 8 characters/letters/numbers/spaces will be stamped on the back surface of the letter/initial charm AND up to ***6*** characters/letters/numbers/spaces will be stamped on the front surface of the same letter/initial charm (along with either 3 stamped hearts or 3 stamped stars)

★ ★ ★ 8 characters total includes both characters & spaces, so a date of "10●22●14" = 8 characters while the name "Taylor" = 6 characters/spaces

★ ★ ★ If you need more than 8 characters/spaces stamped on a single side of the charm pendant, please CONVO me about setting up a custom order (if possible) using a smaller font set

★ ★ ★ In the "Notes to AmySueCrafts" box at Checkout, please specify what you want stamped EXACTLY how you want it to be stamped (all uppercase, all lowercase, a combination, etc.). Please also leave me a valid email address so I can contact you if I have any questions. Notes/Information typed in all uppercase or all lowercase letters will be stamped using all uppercase or all lowercase letters, respectively. (https://img0.etsystatic.com/194/0/5763117/il_fullxfull.1386212426_5e1e.jpg )

❷ In the "Notes to AmySueCrafts" box at Checkout, please specify whether you want 3 hearts or 3 stars stamped on the front of the letter charm. If no choice is listed, the stamped HEARTS are the default option.

❸ In the "Notes to AmySueCrafts" box at Checkout, please specify which font option you would prefer:
(a) The curly letters font (pictured -- stamped name "Ella" in photos #1, #2, and #4), or
(b) A standard typewriter font, as featured on the back side of this keychain (photo #3, initials "ERE") and one of my other keychains here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/238497872 (more masculine -- shown in photo #1, the stamped "Myles" name)

★ ★ ★ If no font choice is indicated at checkout, the CURLY font is the default option.

➽➽➽ If you would prefer another font than the one pictured, I have many other font/alphabet sets available, but we are limited by the width/size of each charm pendant. Please convo me PRIOR to placing your order to inquire about other font options. This listing only includes the 2 font options mentioned above.

❹ "Letter?" -- From the above drop-down menu, you select the solid brass letter charm (all uppercase) that you want to have hand-stamped for your keychain.
--------------------------------------------------------------
★ Not all letters of the alphabet are available as these are vintage stock and no longer in production.
★ The letters I have listed are the ONLY letters I have available in this style of letter/initial charm.
★ I only have a couple of "F", "V" and "Y" letter charms total, so PLEASE CONVO ME prior to placing your order if you want a LETTER "F", "V" or "Y", so I can let you know if anyone has already ordered my last of this type of letter charm from another listed (e.g., as a necklace).

❺ Both sides of the letter/initial charm will be lightly polished, but will show some wear (spots, nicks, and/or scratches) due to age and the stamping process. The letter charms are in very good condition, but please remember that they are VINTAGE pieces and are rustic/worn/distressed in style from decades of storage. They are not pristine, perfect, or highly polished.

❻ All stamped characters/letters/numbers will be darkened in using permanent ink. If you do not want them darkened (i.e., left natural), please let me know during Checkout. The default option is for all stamping to be darkened in.

***Note: All pieces are handcrafted. I stamp every letter/number/character, one at a time, using a set of metal stamps and a hammer. Spacing between the letters and characters and the depth of each letter / number may vary slightly between items AND within items. All letters/numbers are not guaranteed to line up perfectly. These small variations add to the rustic charm and unique nature of each piece. They are not imperfections. No two pieces will ever be identical. Hand stamping is not the same as engraving. Engraving is done by a machine. If you want "perfect," please consider engraving instead. These pieces are rustic and natural.

***Note: this item has small parts and should not be worn by, or given to, young children without adult supervision due to choking hazards.***

✔ Please review AmySueCrafts's "Shipping & Policies" available at the tab above or go to: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AmySueCrafts/policy

✔ This item has small parts and should not be given to children due to choking hazards.

✔ Items created by AmySueCrafts are NOT toys. Please do not allow children, pets, or other adults to play with these items. Many items are breakable and also pose a choking hazard. Never put pennies, coins, charms, or other items in your mouth (or allow others to do so).

✔ Except in the case certain of ready-to-ship items, the items pictured are EXAMPLES ONLY; yours will vary based on your customization choices and natural variations in the hand-stamping process.

✔ Care Instructions for Your Handmade Item:
- Avoid direct contact with lotion, oil, perfume/cologne, hairspray, sunscreen, bug spray, and other chemicals (e.g., harsh detergents, household cleaners, bleach, alcohol, acids, etc.)
- Avoid contact with water – do not shower with OR swim with your keychains, pendants, jewelry, or other items created by AmySueCrafts; chlorine and other chemicals in water can damage, discolor, and/or destroy your handcrafted items
- In addition, keep resin-based items (e.g., music cufflinks, resin flower pendants, etc.) away from extended exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures
- For vintage silverware, please refer to the care instructions included with your order

✔ Each hand-stamped item is stamped by me, by hand, using a hammer -- one letter/number/character/symbol at a time -- so the letters/characters/numbers may not be perfectly lined up, which only adds to the charming, rustic appeal of an item. No two will ever look the same!

✔ PLEASE be certain to provide me with ALL requested customization details at Checkout. Failure to do so can result in shipping delays which are beyond my control per my policies. If I need to follow up via convos and/or emails to gather missing custom details, your response time will determine when your item is able to be created. Thanks for understanding.

✔ If you need RUSH Order Processing (for an extra fee) to create your item faster than the standard production time listed above, please convo me prior to ordering.

✔ I ship ALL items with USPS Tracking™ (formerly called "Delivery Confirmation") which means I ***CANNOT*** ship anything by regular USPS First Class Mail; it must be sent as a USPS First Class Parcel to qualify for USPS Tracking™. This is slightly more expensive for very small, flat items, but the tracking information provides you with proof that I shipped the package and proof of delivery.

✔ AmySueCrafts accepts payment via ALL major credit cards as well as PayPal. Please convo me if you need further assistance. Please also note that payment by eCheck (checking account) or debit card *may* delay your order; those forms of payment often take 3-5 business days to clear the bank.

✔ ALL penny keychains come with your choice of (steel-based) keychain color: Antique Copper, Silver, or Gold.

✔ ALL keychains are also packaged in organza gift bags/pouches (effective 2/3/16). Solid white is the standard color, but some listings offer additional color choices.

✔ Effective 8/2016, AmySueCrafts will be open for orders Wednesday through Saturday (closed for ordering on Sundays, Mondays, & Tuesdays). I also close periodically for additional days to ensure I continue to complete all orders in a timely fashion. Please refer to your order convo and/or receipt for your ship-by date. You will receive a tracking number via Etsy convo when your order ships.

✔ Custom order requests are always welcome!

✔ INSURANCE is available on any purchase. Please click here to access the insurance add-on: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AmySueCrafts/search?search_query=insurance. Customer satisfaction is one of my primary goals, but please understand that AmySueCrafts is not responsible for packages once they are in the hands of USPS. I do not work for USPS or have any control over how USPS handles packages. Packages lost or damaged by USPS are not the fault of AmySueCrafts.

Once a package is picked up by USPS and leaves my hands, AmySueCrafts is not responsible for delivery delays, lost packages, undelivered packages, or damaged packages. Lost, damaged, undelivered, or returned packages paid without insurance are the responsibility of the buyer, not AmySueCrafts. If you choose not purchase insurance and your package is lost, damaged, or not delivered by USPS, AmySueCrafts is not liable and cannot provide a refund. Lost/damaged/undelivered packages that are not insured are also not reimbursable via USPS, even if they have USPS Tracking™.
