I just picked up a red one. I think it'll look very nice on my black/ gunmetal Dakotah when I feel like swapping out the feathers. Or added to the feathers. I'll have to see.

Does the 41 lozenge stand for 1941?

I'm underwhelmed by the shade of red. The pictures I've seen seem to be an oxbloody red, but the one I received was a more neutral red. Has anyone else found this to be the case with this fob?

Just got these! I plan on using the feathers as a fob sometimes. Loving my little bear. I put him on my black Dakota, and I think it looks cute.:graucho: Maybe Ill post a pick of it .

I tried it. I've got the feathers carefully stored in my fob jewelry box. I love it! Adds a little different, but still fun, feel.

This may be sacrilegious to admit, but if the dinosaur mix keyring is still around at a Black Friday/Christmas PCE (and given how long fobs remain in FP now, there's a darn good chance it will), I might just get one and ... er ... dismantle it myself. That is, remove everything but the dinosaur and feather. I've been thinking about this ever since the darn thing came out. .... The fossil record is pretty clear that birds descended from dinosaurs, specifically the therapod group of which T-Rex is a member. So a feather and a therapod-skeleton fob? Yes, please. Even if I have to do it myself

I tried to use a pce for that charm and it was one of the things excluded and they wouldn't let me use it. Just a heads up.

Yes, momtok, I would do the exact same thing! I have no interest in headphones and turntables, but a dinosaur and a feather together are brilliant!

Suzanne B-I knew I remembered that picture, and those colors and fobs are so appealing.

Thank you all for your information-I guess it is a waiting game now.

I think random charms with bags would be a complete disaster, can you imagine the chaos?

On that one, the feather doesn't really have any connection to the dinosaur. Stegosaurs aren't the ancestors of modern-day birds, only the therapods seem to be.

"The spelling cracks me up: "dinersor""

It's probably a good thing that she didn't try to spell "stegosaur" :D

And how can ANYONE who was a child within the last 60 or 70 years NOT know how to spell "dinosaur"?

Maybe I'm being a little over sensitive but I never expected these types of responses to my post. I've had many successful transactions with this seller and can't say enough good things about her. She always delivers what she promises. She will often accept an offer that I assume will just be declined. Her communications with me are always polite.

I guess I should have PM'd the person who specifically mentioned wanting a dinosaur & feather fob.

I'm sure this seller is great and always delivers. Just the fact that she is selling hundreds of small Coach accessories at retail from Jacksonville, FL (JAX -- Coach's distribution center), leads me to wonder if she is a Coach employee buying items at a discount (or acquiring samples?) and selling for a profit on ebay. That's all.

(Replying, because I was the original poster to whom sparkle was first replying/quoting. I'm the one who plans to dismantle my original keyring.)

To update, I did indeed purchase the dinosaur/record player/feather/skull/earphones keyring, I will be having it re-rung on PCE tomorrow, and since it is part of my Christmas, I will indeed be dismantling it after Christmas.

Regarding the new dinosaur/feather on ebay, as linked to above -- nope, the new one would not work for me. :laugh: (In fact, a four-legged dinosaur like that, paired with a feather, is actually sort of odd. Or at least, it's completely incorrect based on the fossil records. ;) )

That new dinosaur is a stegosaurus, a four-legged herbivore. On the contrary, I needed the carnivorous, two-legged, therapod skeleton as found on the original keyring. ..... Why? Because the two-legged therapods are what evolved into birds, and there is clear fossil evidence that many therapods actually *had* feathers themselves. T-rex? Paleontologists now believe that he was feathered, especially as a baby. Velociraptors (the hunters and killers in Jurassic Park)? They are proven to have been feathered. They've actually found arm bones with quill-knobs where the feathers attached. .... Proven. ...... Yeah, imagine a giant, carnivorous bird chasing you around Jurassic Park.

See, we have pet parrots (eight at the moment, as we've morphed into a bit of an impromptu birdie rescue). For years, I've referred to our beloved little feather-balls as "our little dinosaurs". When I still worked, I used to have a picture of an archeoptyrex fossil pinned to my cubicle wall. (Archeoptyrex was the first dinosaur fossil found, with feathers.) We even have a tradition in our family... every time a new bird joins us, we, and the birds, spend an evening watching Jurassic Park. Just to remind them of the innate power of their ancestors. ;)

That's why I needed the original keyring, and that's why I'm planning the surgery on it. A two-legged therapod, with a feather, is scientifically sound --- and my keyring will be in honor of our beloved pets. :D For anyone who saw my thread in the main Coach section, the resultant product of therapod fossil and feather, will be hanging from my "Lucky" crossbody. Our flock of birdies is just one of the many "lucky" things I've been blessed with in life.

(As for the four-legged herbivores, like on the new keyring, there is no evidence that they had feathers. And they certainly did not evolve into birds. So for Coach to pair a four-legged, solo, with a feather, makes even less sense. ..... Coach, learn your paleontology! :laugh:)

(No, I'm not crazy. Just love my birdies. :flowers: :flowers:)

Yeah, it was excluded before, but according to my SA, this new PCE does work on it. She's actually been watching the situation like a hawk for me. A few weeks ago, Jax seemed to have sent the remainder of these keyrings out to various boutiques. There was about sixty left in the system at the time. They're still order-able, of course, but Jax dumped the last of its own inventory out to the stores. She knew how desperately I wanted it, so she ordered one, but it had to come from another store instead of from Jax.

But yeah, this new PCE finally works, so I'm just doing price-adjustment.
