if you go to ebay.com and search 'brass snoopy' it brings a few others that look to be from the same series (snoopy in different poses or characters but made just like yours), and they are key fobs. They also have different copyright dates. I believe the copyright date refers to the year in which that particular snoopy character was created by Charles Shulz and used in his comic strip. Even though yours has a date of 1965, it is more likely that is was made in the 70's or even later.
