.......A very Rare HAYNES, Kokomo Indiana Auto Fob! C 1920 and Pictures the Auto! Here's background---"The Haynes Automobile Company was one of many small companies that built cars in the United States in the first decades of the 20th century. The company was started after Elwood Haynes—supervisor of the Indiana Natural Gas & Oil Company in Kokomo, Ind.—came up with the plan to build a gasoline engined vehicle. Haynes worked with the Elmer and Edgar Apperson who owned the Riverside Machine Shop to build a car in 1894. That vehicle took its first test run on July 4, 1894. The three men went into business together, forming the Haynes-Apperson Company in 1896. (It was officially incorporated in 1898.) Both Appersons had left the Haynes-Apperson Company by 1902, and they began making automobiles under their own name, setting up the Apperson Brothers Automobile Company in Kokomo. In 1905, the company formerly known as the Haynes-Apperson Company became the Haynes Automobile Company to reflect the changed ownership. Haynes continued to make cars until the 1920s, when bad times hit. In 1924, the company was declared bankrupt and went out of business in 1925". Excellent condition brass fob, with great auto detail!
