Item: court bag
Seller: local thrift store
Photos:

Dimensions: 9.5x7x2.5 approx.

Comments: Everything looks about right to me but I know how easy it is to be fooled. I actually just found a court bag last week but with brass hardware but this one is silver/nickel(?), both made in Costa Rica but different years. Thank you always for your help!!

Cute! I think you'll love it. :smile: I bought mine on Ebay and probably paid close to what you did, it had been on my Wish List for a long time.

Now you just need the matching Keychain or Purse Charm. :biggrin:

Both have been faked, so if you plan on giving in to temptation, have them authenticated.

Goldfish or Koi Charm, 92268, MFF I think from around 2009

Item: Compartment bag?

Comments; Parts of it look greener and parts almost black? 5.5" height 2.5" depth 9" width

Yes, a genuine Compartment Bag. As for the color, you're in a better position to judge that from owning it than we are just from photos.

PROBALY ok, small accessories are very hard to authenticate, at least for me. If someone else wants to give it a try, good luck to them.

The likelihood of your koi fob being fake is low. There haven't been that many fakes (that I've seen of the leather style) though I do have pictures (and posts) showing that both the charm and the fob were faked.

Feel free to post pictures to verify.

In this post, Hyacinth showed a fake charm:

And in this post, I showed comps (now not showing) of a fake keychain. Pictures added to this post as an attachment.

Could you please have a look at the following:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-COACH-...ody-Messenger-Purse-Bag-9870-USA/372831392730
Seller is station_85
The seller sent me the creed photo:

We don't recommend STATION_85.

The seller has listed and sold many fakes as well as items that are in considerably crappier condition than described. On top of those problems, the seller rarely shows enough or the correct pictures necessary to authenticate the items. (And in this case, you've proven it; you had to request the creed picture!)

Toolhaus is enlightening!

We need to see the bottom and the inside. I'm worried about the corners - they seem too rounded.

ETA: I just realized you said it was unlined. I doubt it is authentic. I've never seen one without lining.
