" I noticed that within your Keychains section you show what is actually called a PAM (product authentication medallion).  Used on items that were not otherwise marked as official Girl Scout (with a trefoil or other markings), the PAM was secured by a ball chain.  Items that bore a PAM included umbrellas and some purses.

 

Hope this helps."
