I got the info from the Reference library. Looks like the last bag pictured@iluvmybags not a prototype, it's a flat brass First, looks like maybe second season.

If you read the first line it says prototypes AND first season. The bag shown on the bottom is a first season as evidenced by the lack of zipper stop.
I took a little break & came back to look. The prices are Insane, but…since there pricing them this high & people are buying them - I went ahead and consigned a few of my least often used ones 🤷🏽♀️ I hope more of the non-tpf-ers go ahead and buy mine (so I can wait for the prices to come back to reality & buy a few more lol)
It appears so to me. That also isn't 2012 leather.🙄Doesn’t this look like Rose Gold, not SGH?

My pleasure. If it’s a 2010 the leather should be good!In a moment of Rose Gold weakness, I grabbed it. Will report back once it arrives. Thanks for your help!
Looks like verdigris. Happens sometimes with brass. It was probably kept in a moist environment. The verdigris wouldn't necessarily scare me away as it can be cleaned, but musty odor implies mold, which I don't want to deal with.![]()

I love this color, but I can't get over the 'green' residue around one of the rivets...combined with the listing saying there is a musty odor, I am imagining the worst. The pictures showing the inside of the bag look pristine 🤨

Such a shame because it’s a beautiful color, I definitely don’t want to deal with mold. I had no idea what that green residue was, thank you!Looks like verdigris. Happens sometimes with brass.
