Porsche involvement in Formula One over the years is patchy and arguably not particularly great but this engine branded TAG in the eighties was probably their apogee seeing great success for a few seasons in great McLaren chassis of that time:
I have a piston out of one of those things ...

Cuff links. Also a Porsche branded neck tie by Toye, Kenning and Spencer Ltd a British firm who’ve been in business since 1685. Royal warrant holders; probably trading longer than some countries have been in existence in current form?
Quite narrow tie so assume 60s before fashion for wider ties during the 70s although old established maker was probably less influenced by fashion than most
Make some fine products including things like this so presumably a few branded ties weren’t exactly pushing them to hard :

Travelling wool rug as from 1970 advertising products catalog.
A quite expensive item.

A friend kindly sent me this Carrera RS glass paperweight as a present over Christmas. Card inside package mentioned it’s an older item; not a newly made.

Nice items. I have a collection of “castle unit developments” key fobs one for every car marque I’ve ever owned ( with a couple yet to go). When I get my set I plan to make a display.
That’s not battered
I have a REALLY battered Porsche CUD and by contrast a totally pristine NOS torpedo on sister brand Craftsman both are Porsche crest.
For those not familiar there is a whole book about Jaguar keyrings and fobs that give this summary of CUD and Craftsman:
The website on the watermark in the photo shows some period literature ans some of the marques covered by the company based in Leicestershire England :

the keyrings and fobs are better in the correct thread, but yes, these „don-keys“ had been discussed….
