There may only be one of Keith’s magical skull rings in existence and there is certainly only one Keith, but now you can get the closest possible thing to the genuine article. When Keith first got his iconic ring as a birthday present from David Courts and Bill Hackett in 1978, little did he know he had just received what would become arguably the most recognizable ring in history.
