Which shops have keychains?

[chenoameg.livejournal.com]

After 24 years I have lost my first keychain. (It's been gone for the entire summer, I just need to accept I'm not going to find it.)

So, what shops in Davis Square have awesome keychains? Or maybe I mean key fob. The thing to go on the metal ring to make it mine. I'd like it to be durable enough to last in my pocket for another few decades.

(I realize I could go into all of the cool shops and look, but I have limited child free time to do window shopping in. Maybe there's the perfect keychain that you've been looking at!)

I have ones with flashlights built in with my business name and number on them. You are welcome to one if you like.

This guy's local and does incredibly intricate science keychains: http://taylorcustom.com/

I've seen his work occasionally at local festivals, and find it quite droolworthy.

Davis Squared carries many styles including some great Troika keychains from Germany.

Tags (downstairs) and Dickson Bros both have a large selection of standard keychains (as well as cutsey ones and Dudebro-friendly ones). If Black Ink still exists in Harvard Sq., it usually has some, too.

I LOVE the Taylor custom keychains. I have one that is the model of a plant cell. LOVE IT! But they are solid metal, and a bit heavy. I chose a larger format one, and I must be carrying around half a pound in keychain weight alone. I don't carry it anymore :(. So I guess I need to get one of this smaller ones to replace it :).

I would look on Etsy.com!

Blue Cloud gallery in Ball Sq carries key chains designed by local artists @ $8.

It's not local, but I have one from Machine Era in Richmond called the KeySquare; it's a solid steel slab with a belt hook and a bottle opener. Highly useful little tool.
