Both of them look ok. Good luck with those cough drops! :biggrin:
 
I love my local shoe repair shop! I needed a small fix done on the strap of a Bradley I recently purchased and they were able to do it while I waited for just $2. While I was there I noticed that they had a lot of products I thought I'd have to order online, including Blackrock. I will definately be giving them more of my business.

Keychains are highly and often very accurately faked. In the future we ask you to post no more than 2 fobs per photo and to post the BACK of each keychain as well as the front, and try to get a clear readable photo of the price tag showing the style number AND also the small metal hangtag on each keyring. Even having what looks like original tags doesn't prove much since a tag or hangtag can be switched from a genuine to a fake keyfob in less than 10 sesconds, and the tags can be counterfeited even more easily than the fobs. Often we have to count the links in the chain on the multi-charm ones. If you own them, take photos of both sides. If you're considering buying them, ask for more photos.

These are the ones I'm pretty sure are genuine, although more opinions would be appreciated. I'm using the placement from the first photo:

Top left, Rainy Day
Bottom right, Hearts & Stars
Probably the Lock and Key one, center left. But I'd really like to see a clear photo of the little hangtag on the keyring. In the pictures it looks more like white enamel than all silver metal.


The dark pink Valet one might need a photo of the back.
The ones with pave stones usually need to have the stones actually counted, and I don't know if I have clear enough photos of the genuine version to do an accurate comparison. It's going to take some time to find what I have.
I don't have any pics of the leather one, and again we'd probably need to see the back.

There don't seem to be any OBVIOUS problems with them that I can see but like I said, keychains are very well faked. If we need more photos of any specific areas, we'll ask.


ETA - the 5-disk "COACH" pave keyfob isn't in my files so I don't have anything to compare this one to. Maybe someone else has a photo. That doesn't mean it's fake, just that I can't tell if it's genuine.

The Pave Script Heart with pink crystals seems ok.

WHOOPS - just saw the post by BeenBurned - thanks, BB!

There's no need to send more photos unless we ask.

Which one are you unsure about, and why?

Good! It's nice to support local businesses AND save S&H charges on things you need.

It's a shame that shoe repair shops seem to be a vanishing breed. When I was young it seemed like there was one every few blocks, and they were always busy. But parents who in most cases had survived the Great Depression and at least one war never threw anything out that could be saved, especially expensive things like kids' shoes. Even the ones we deliberately tried to destroy, like saddle shoes. :biggrin:
