Abstract
A key holder comprises a pair of key rings each connected to a fob, and the fobs can be releasably secured to one another. The fobs are configured as conventional male and female electrical connector plugs, such as conventional blade-type electrical connector plugs. The plugs are miniaturized to prevent connection to an actual current-carrying outlet or plug. In a second embodiment, the fobs are configured as fractional portions of a sport's game piece, such as a baseball, and create the appearance of the sport's game piece when secured together.
