Item: Whitney 4115
Where purchased or how obtained: thrift store
Comments: dimensions are 11" height (measured in middle), 10" width, 4" depth. This is the second bag I have suspicions. I looked through my content and did not find a previous request. Pardon if it is a duplicate request.

Oh my goodness! You must be the most patient person in the world!

In the future, don't wait over 3 months if your request was skipped. You can bump it after 24 hours!

I don't recommend Poshmark and Depop because both sites and sellers seem to be unresponsive to reports but I'll comment on the listings since you've waited so patiently!

Authentication in red above.

Ha, or the most forgetful…thank you for checking these!

It's fine.

It's fine.

Phew! Thank you @BeenBurned ! I appreciate you sharing your time and knowledge with me for this authentication!!! The factory code had me concerned.

Is anyone else having issues using the forum? All of a sudden it is not working for me.

Hi authenticators, I've been thrifting & took a chance on these 2 items in need of some tlc. If all else fails, I have key rings for a very low cost. Please take a look when you can. Thanks for your help!!

1st item: Coin/wallet/key fob
Thrifted
Comments: measures approx. 3.75" x 3.5" when closed. 1 pocket inside flap, 2 inside pockets plus a zip pocket, 1 pocket under the flap and 1 pocket on the back. key ring on a chain. "gusset" to expand interior pockets. Do you have a style name & number, year, photo to share?

2nd item: snowman key fob
thrifted
Comments: measures approx. 2.5" plus hangtag "strap" & ring x 1.5" at the widest. Key ring and tiny Coach metal tag. He's in kind of rough condition, so the previous owner must not have realized he would be a bit fragile for everyday use. Hoping the silver leather cleans up a bit. Any idea what year he was released? Style name and number, photo to share?

Both are fine. I seem to remember another coin wallet similar to that one was posted earlier in the thread. I don't have any information about it. It is newer than most of what I keep files for.

The snowman is F92200.

Hi! I'm so glad this resource exists as I'm just starting my vintage Coach journey. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

FOR ITEMS NOT LISTED ONLINE:
Item: Unsure of name, but small flap bag with adjustable strap
Where purchased or how obtained: NYC estate sale
Comments: Before I knew anything about vintage Coach (not that I know a ton now), I bought this bag at an estate sale here in NYC. When I started learning about the creed, I was bummed and figured mine was a very nice fake, but it only cost me $10. Then, I read about the pre-creed early bags and the little metal tags they used to have and hope bloomed...is there any way to authenticate and identify this bag? I think it was originally navy or black, but it's hard to say. There is a bit of overlap and odd, wonky stitching in one place on the strap and on the bottom. Happy to provide more pictures if necessary!

Thanks so much! I did find similar wallets, but none looked identical to mine.
Any idea when Coach released the snowman keyfob?
