The idea for these came from a fire chief that we met at the last F.D.I.C. convention in Indianapolis. We have, for years, given away leather key chains made from the cutouts of our badge cases. This particular chief had received some the previous year and used them to locate the zipper pulls on his department's turn out gear. There was no more fumbling to find the zipper. He said we should sell them, and he was right.

 It is really a simple idea. Either one of these shapes can make a great key chain or zipper pull. We had our local fire deparment try them and the response was very favorable. If these are placed on luggage not only is it easier to locate the zipper but it is much easier to spot your bag.

 They are made with our standard full grain steer hide, reduced in thickness, and have a stainless steel split ring for ease and strength. They are economically priced at your local dealer.
