Does This older LORIOLI Skinny Horse Key Fob Have Value?

The skinny horse one is interesting. These are not new, they are from an old private collection and were among a few things given to me this past weekend. I am reasonably certain they are not repros but I could be wrong. You guys are the experts

Whatever you want to charge for them! Really!!!
If they haven't been "artificially aged" (joke) take a look at EBay, you will be surprised at some of the prices people are asking for "original ".
BTW, they look very nice. I would suggest keeping them till the prices go over a thousand each. By then we won't be able to afford a 308, only a Key Fob... maybe...

 

Holy ****

Ferrari 365 Key Chain Fob LORIOLI 246 250 275 330 365 GTB/4 512 OEM | eBay

And I have one now!

 

They are for sale here in Italy at 200-250 euro with the factory bag too.

That of the eBay ad is an absurd price.

Every time robo330 posts the link to that stupid ad: Why? Selling prices are 25% of that

 

Do these look like the "real" ones to you?

 

I have no idea, sorry: I'm just a luggage expert

I have two that were given to me in 1992 when I bought my 348. I never used them so they are in new condition.

 

And the guy wants $9.75 on top of that for shipping!

 

Another question related to the two styles - does anyone know for certain which of the two versions (leaner or thicker horse) came with late year US 328's (specifically an 1989 car)?

 

So what is the history/production of the different get rings?

I bought two in the mid/late eighties that were stamped LORIOLI then I got one that starts with a C and I got several without a stamp.

I used one of the LORIOLI stamped and from use is cracked.

I think the current production dos not have any stamping.

I see the eBay offers but can't see that a key ring can fetch that much...maybe I should have bought more back then.

 

I have never seen the skinny horse except maybe in pictures in a book and I have been closely following the 308 series for 36 years. So your 328 had the fat horse, no question.

 

I hope it is worth something just because it would be fun knowing I have something that actually has a collector value. I am not looking to sell it because the few hundred bucks (if that truly is what they are worth) isn't as important to me as simply having one.

If it turned out that it is worth 4.figures, I would give it back to the person that gave them to me this past weekend. Keeping them knowing that he didn't know this when he gave them to me isn't right in my book, but that is just me.

 

I have a copy of the USA 328 sales brochure. In the interior photos, you can see one of the fobs in the ignition. The fob has the skinny horse.

 

Learn something new nearly every day here.

 

Put it up in eBay as the ultra rare skinny horse version (include a copy of the ad if you can ) and see what it fetches

If it's over 4 figures give the money to the person who gave it to you

Hi,

are you sure that this is a Ferrari OE part... ?

I have one of those too.... stamped with "Coinart Firenze" looks like the same as yours, but I know that mine is not OE. I've bought it some 25 yrs. ago in SAN MARINO.

By this time they didn't really care using trademarks for "fakes" in and around Italy.

Coinart (in Firenze) was also a provider of key fobs, but for other models of Ferraris, not for 308s and 328s. It depends on the car you are considering. Coinart was providing many key fobs in the sixties, then later in the nineties; but for 308 and 328s, key fobs were mainly (perhaps even solely) made by A.E Lorioli in Milano.

Yours seems to be an authentic Coinart from the nineties.

I am going to see him again this weekend. He is still cleaning out stuff and has more to give me. I will tell him about it then. That tag frame up in the Tech thread was his too.

 

Coinart key ring, I got mine in the ninties from a local F-dealer.
I guess to keep the cost down the current ones don't have an origin stamped on the back.

 

Hi Nerofer,

thanks for your reply.

I just was wondering because I have bought mine in a typical tourist shop for some 5000 Lira or so.... they sold key fobs from all well known brands back then.

Regards, Joachim

 

Ferrari used many different suppliers for some products, which changed along the years; think about the paint brands for the cars for instance: Glidden Salchi, then Glasurit, then PPG, etc...many are authentic, but depending on a certain period of time.
It is the same with key fobs: a Coinart maybe authentic for certain models of cars, not for others. But if you bought it at the beginning of the nineties, it would be period correct for the cars made at this time, and it certainly looks authentic (so a real Coinart) to me. But it would not be period correct for most cars of the eighties.
Authentic Loriolis were also cheap in Italy, this until a few years back.

Can any late year 328 owner who has original Lorioli fobs please confirm which horse (skinny or thick) is on the fob? This would help a lot. Thank you.
