I decided I wanted a key valet. Like my parents used to use in the 70's.
Because I just keep my keys on a key ring, like an uncouth slob.
I absolutely scored with my new vintage key valet from FARMERS STATE BANK, Buffalo, Ill.
Exceeded all my expectations, unexpected exonumia and it's absolutely wonderful.
The seller had a pair so I had to buy 2...So I think I've got a pretty cool giveaway whenever I decide to do one

Before you get scolded for this not being a US coin, i just wanna say
That’s Wayyyy Cool!
30+ years coin shop experience (ret.) Coins, bullion, currency, scrap & interesting folks. Loved every minute!
Great item. I never used one but I sure remember seeing them.
And it's from "another" Buffalo (Illinois).
Nice, but why are we calling this exonumia? It holds keys

Bank promo should establish reasonable nexus to coins.
The Buffalo on the front makes it sort of like these, which are also sort of like Exonumia. These are somewhat handsomely masculine too 🌞

I’ve shown these here long time ago.

Aren't 1909-S VDB cents and 1916-D dimes keys?

Farmers state bank, that's key to being related to this thread ☝️
Missed the bank part.

I have some relatives that live near Buffalo, but I don't belive that there is a Farmer's State bank there anymore. It is a very small town just east of Springfield on old 36.

I didn't even think to look them up until you posted...

That proves it, since Buffalo is in Sangamon County.
