St. Christopher fob of sorts - NOW WITH ENLARGED IMAGE

[Blind.In.Texas]

I found this in the desert near Ft. Stockton, Tx. It appears to be a fob of some sort. Since I know nothing of these items I was hoping that someone may know some information about it. Thanks in advance!!

34mm W x 40mm H x 1mm D The text in the arch is 'St. Christopher'
============================================
After cleaning it I noticed that there is a train on tracks above the wind shield and an airplane in the top left corner. Hope that helps.
============================================
And here it is after a good cleaning.

Interesting FOB, lots of stuff going on. Any chance we could see it just a bit larger? Somewhere in the 640x480 - 800-600 range. We appreciate you making it not board busting big, but you seem to have gone to far in minimizing it.

What kind of car is depicted there?

Its hard to see but very cool find. A pic of the back will help too.

Sorry about the size. I'll get a larger pic and I have decided to clean it up. The image size was from when Tnet only allowed 200x200 resolution or 128k or something like that. (OOOOOOOOld school).

here's my step-grandfather's st. christopher car badge. it pins into the headliner. it shows a train, a blimp, an airplane, a car, and a few other modes of transport I can't really make out.

Very cool find. Can we see the back?

Here's the back. Some areas look like they may have been gilt at some point.

This is funny - it kinda freaked me out when I first put it in my car. I kept thinking there was a huge bug on my roof!

St. Christopher is the patron saint of safe travels, that's why so many modes of transportation are represented..........NGE

The car reminds me of an early 50's Alfa Romeo:

That time would also be consistant with the airplane and train on the fob.

Never seen one like that. Very cool.
