There are only a few that I recognise, but don't see any problems with any of them. Wait for BeenBurned to look at them too.

And I'm INSANELY jealous of whay you've managed to find! There are about 150 in my own collection but yours makes me feel completely humbled. I LOVE the Butterfly in the first group! :cool:

If these aren't available in the US, Coach is really treating their American buyers like CARP. Their keychains in the stores and on the website here over the last few years with only a few exceptions have been boring as he!! and I've only found a few worth spending my money on. Why can't we get styles like these? :crybaby:

Thank you so much Hyacinth! I have to agree with you there. I have a fairly large collection of US fobs as well, and with few exceptions the quality of what I believe to be overseas exclusives is so much better than the the US versions. It is really rather disappointing and doesn't seem at all fair to us since these are so hard to come by! I completely lucked out finding all of these. I purchased one unusual fob from an ebay seller and happened to ask if he had any others. He started sending me photos of dozens of fobs that I had never seen before that were incredible! He said he bought them from a Japanese collector's estate. He probably got them all for a great price and didn't seem to know or care too much about them. He allowed me to buy most of his leather fobs (which I generally prefer to the metal ones) in several large lots. The few metal fobs that are seen in my photos he threw in as freebies :)

Unfortunately, I haven't found many recent releases I like either :( Therefore, I am constantly searching for the older designs. If it is any consolation, I don't think there have been many nice overseas exclusives in recent years either...not that I am an expert by any means! I really wish they would bring back the intricately designed fobs from several years ago!

How does this look? I see a glued in serial number. Bonnie Cashin's name sure gets thrown around on eBay.

It looks okay. I wish there was a better a picture of the creed but I don't see any problems. That corner looks rough though! I bought an authentic NYC bag with the same fake hangtag. It is probably from the late 70s/early 80s, made after Bonnie Cashin left Coach.

As always, much appreciated.

All look good. The first was probably called Hamilton Large Hobo; it was made for factory. The second one is a flatiron zip and the last two are swing zips.

Thanks for checking it out. That corner was bad. I was outbid which was probably a good thing in this case!

I saw those listings and wondered where the seller had gotten so many of them. I need to find a Japanese collector!

There's nothing to indicate that they're anything but authentic. Congratulations.
