    Looks like the same company. Been at it since the 20's.

    Made a lot of Italy's WWII medals and insignias.

    Don't know the specifics of your key fob.

    in all the years of trying to learn about ferrari fobs, i haven't come across one of these. having said that, that doesn't mean that much. most of what i have learned is from people who cared about keyfobs - and most people didn't or don't. if any of the oldtimers could help out, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I think these predated the AE Lorioli - the question is did they predate the rare OMEA fobs ?

    I have a similar Bomisa fob however the "BOMISA" "MILANO" are stacked on the back and I'm told it was delivered new with a 1970 365GTC.
    In use from approx. late 60's to mid 70's so I don't believe they predate OMEA fobs (This is what I've learned from others and in no way definitive...).

    They come up for sale occasionally, like this one...

    Hi Andrew. My question re the BOMISA predating the omea is based on ebay prices. Looks like they are all silly money but the BOMISA seem to be even sillier than omea. BOMisa were also making other stuff such as ashtrays etc. you find BOM stamped on things.

    Yes, BO.MI.SA made plenty of fixtures - even the sunvisor mirror in my car.
    Claims of dates of origin wrt key fobs are often incorrect in ebay ads. and they do come up for sale occasionally for reasonable money.
    Perhaps someone who knows more about these than me can add more information...
