I'm sorry I missed these. I saw them but thought they had been answered. That stitching is horribly wonky but I believe the bag is authentic. I wonder how that got by quality control. The bag doesn't have any of those mistakes we usually see on fakes of this style. The Watson looks good too.

Would you please authenticate this key fob, if enough pics? I am not finding this color option now that my brain is engaged...Thank you!

Item: City key fob???
Listing #: m380278121
Seller: Lisa Shop Too Much

Comments: hang tag is too big but is it authentic?

The hangtag's definitely a replacement but I don't see any problem with the color or the pouch itself. You can't always expect to find every single color of a 20 year old item online, or to have every color made listed in every catalog. It's probably the earlier version from 1995, style 7248.

Thank you! I found your fob catalog pic in the archives and panicked when I didn't see white. Didn't stop to think they made these over many years :rolleyes: Thanks for the reminder!

Please authenticate. Thank you in advance. I won this auction and I think this bag is OK but because the serial number has disappeared I'd appreciate your expertise.

It's probably fine. I can't tell if it has a serial number or not since the one photo that shows the whole pocket is too blurry and the other one is cut off.

Thanks, Whateve. Seller says it does not have a serial number. I think it may have had a pasted-in one that fell off. There is a space under the creed that looks like it once had something glued to it. But that's just a guess.

You're welcome. I don't believe it would have had a glued-in serial number as those usually have the registered trademark symbol in the creed. But it could have been made before they were using numbers.
