Good afternoon! I was wondering if someone could please authenticate this keychain?

Item: Coach Blue Bird Keychain

Item number: 162717890859

Seller: Magicaldeals1998_0

Link: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Blue-Bird-Keychain-Lanyard/162717890859?hash=item25e2bdf92b:g:dOgAAOSw0ehZ5~kN&_trkparms=pageci%3A597890a7-ba90-11e7-942e-74dbd1800f68%7Cparentrq%3A5a7a367d15f0a9e86a91e138fffd8b9c%7Ciid%3A2#vi__app-cvip-panel

I also took some pictures after the items was received. I was just concerned because the seller seems new and has a lot of coach keychains.



Thanks

It's fine. I don't see any problems with any of the listings for the seller. Now I know who was doing all that bidding! lol
Style number is 92359.

Item: Coach tan purse
Listing number: 272903081132
Seller: collectir (474)
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-tan-purse/272903081132
Comments: Is B2A legit (especially for what from the strap configuration looks to be trying to be a Whitney series bag)?

TIA

I'm seeing a style number of 9950, which obviously isn't the right style number. There are instances where we see a legitimate A plant code, but this isn't one of them. I think the latest A plant code I've seen was 1996 or 1997. Besides the wrong style number, it has the wrong lining and wrong zipper pull.
I'm seeing the style number as showing 9960. But it's obviously not a back pack either

Item: REAL Vintage COACH Black Extra Large Bucket Duffle Feed Bag Handbag #9085 Retail
Listing number: 263281930795
Seller: madelina69 (20)
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/REAL-Vinta...le-Feed-Bag-Handbag-9085-Retail-/263281930795
Comments: Even though the item sold, was wondering if D4F is legit? Also, the No looks off too (as well as other construction details).

TIA

There was an F plant that as far as I know was only used for business items. It had a very unique font. This one is fake, also because the pocket is way too big.

Here's the only genuine F plant serial stamp design we've ever found:

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:


  • Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.
  • This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

    Item:
    Listing number:
    Seller:
    Link:
    Comments:


  • If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

    Item Name (if you know it):
    Link (if available):
    Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
    • Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
    • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
  • Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.

It's authentic but it's not a court bag. It's a Willis from 1995.

Note that it's not necessary to add pictures to your post (nor a PDF of the listing) if the necessary pictures are in the listing. You're making more work for yourself!
