Black Key Rings & were specially prepared for it previous owner with minimal shinny parts and with rare and uncommon Chemistry keys plus he asked for the shinny chrome carriage return lever to be taken out so its not spotted in the dark.

He asked for Chemistry Symbols to be added like the Harpoon and arrow plus the numbers 2 to 6 to be typed under the letters. as in test page.
