Rather than issued to employees I think that key ring probably came with a cobra. I'm sure there will be a number of forum members that will have more info for you though.

cheers

The plated brass assemblies with return address on the back went out the door with new cars. There was much cheaper facsimile cast in pot metal with nothing on the reverse sold via mail order as an accessory. Original key chains and factory keys are highly prized little detail parts for owners of original cars now. Lots of original keys have survived but few of the new car key chains seemed to have survived in any condition. New car key chains in great original condition are pretty rare now.
