Thrifting Stories: Aircraft Skin Keychain

Was walking back home on St Laurent yesterday and came across a pop-up flea market close to Sherbrooke. Picked up an Exakta camera with massive Carl Zeiss Jena 180mm and a vintage Tasco binoculars for Dad. Will post about them later.

The seller threw in this keychain for free! It's made from the skin of a retired A340 aircraft belonging to Air Mauritius. 




I'm aware of accessories and even whole food carts being sold online but the prices seemed prohibitive. This is a cool score!

More details on the aircraft pulled from an av website:
