I think Grady Clay has the best idea here. He's got an original from '68. I'm sure we could all learn from this ol' sage. '68, that was some time ago. 36 years of Fob testing.
(I've worn out plenty of jeans from keys, BTW)

I agree, like Grady, I still use the factory leather one. (On the left in his picture)
I also have one of those yellow caliper/drilled disc items on the spare set.

I don't use a ring anymore. I lost the keys to my Rolls-Royce once and felt like an idiot - the key fob said "Rolls-Royce" right on it. Why not just leave them a map to the car? Since then, I have a plain ring and the keys are copies that say nothing but ilco.

Of course, that doesn't help when your girlfriend borrows your car and leaves the keys in the door, something the police explained after returning them (they passed the car, saw them, ran my plates).

Update! My 1972 calendar coin fob got replaced just yesterday...with a brown leather fob that has a mini version of a car club badge on it. It reads: "KLASIK OTOMOBIL KULUBU Turkiye" I'm thinking there is only ONE other guy who posts here with the same fob. Gee, I wonder what it would bring on ebay...

OK, who is going to post their Grateful dead keyring? (No, I don't have one... just a wheel & roses sticker in the window)

I use a 13mm wrench. The key opens up the car and the 13mm wrench damn near everything else.

Hoot! You have a point...I would think that the two most common wrench sizes used on a P-car are 10 & 13mm...followed by 19, of course...

I like the thought of the wrench... but I'd hate to replace the lock assembly from having a lot of wt. pulling on it all the time...

The Crest Keyring ... As classic as the car itself.

Exactly. Though I am leaving a sort of cryptic clue to my car's whereabouts...
