If I may....
For those of you that are really invested in rehabbing vintage Coach, I would advice to look on Ebay for lots of tags for sale, yes... some sellers are ridiculous on their prices, but others seem to be very reasonable. I was looking for a red tag once and found one that they were asking $18 plus shipping, sorry no... then I found a lot of 5, 1 red, 2 blacks, 1 cream and 1 brown all with the chain, $25 and free shipping, of course I got them and they have become handy to have in reserve.

The red one I have was $3.00 on ebay. I just move it between red bags when I use them.
You know, just for the heck of it, I wrote to Coach to ask for a new turnlock for my Willis, as the one I have now has a few scratches on it. All they did was send me instructions on how to send my bag to their own repair facility.
I guess if I really wanted one, I could order it from eBay.
It would be less ordering from the bay.Turnlock with shipping roughly twenty dollars, repair service is fourty last I read and I have no idea on shipping, not cheap I imagine.Some of us do work with a budget.
I just got a brown one for one of my vintage bags for $4.19 shipped.If I may....

Yep. And even twenty dollars can be a bit much sometimes.
My turnlock seemed "scratched", but I wasn't convinced they really were scratches. Good thing I decided to remove the turnlock and put in a bit more elbow grease with the Brasso. I eventually got those "scratches" out. They were tarnish marks! I'm feeling relieved, because I thought I'd have to put another $20 into this rehab project!

I have one too. I love it more than I expected. It is style #64136, It's from several years ago. I got mine in 2015 on ebay so it must have been released a few years before that.
Just like @whateve I got mine from ebay, compared to my other metal charms this one is light weight.Not that I have that many to choose from lol.
