I was thrilled to find this at one of the last concerts I went to! It's certainly a quality keychain, & should last as long/longer than my old one; it's at least twice a thick, but not at all heavy or bulky! I have a similar one from the early/mid 2000's that is purple but it is very thin metal & has starting showing its age. This new one has joined it & together they show almost how long I've been a ME fan! (wish I had one from '89/'90 too!)
