Thank you. I was able to get a clearer picture of the creed from the seller. I want to ask if that horizontal lines above the numbers are fine?

The creed is fine. Those lines and dots above and below the numbers are the bottoms and tops of the numbers that were next on the roller of the stamp. They are common on creeds made before a certain date. You can tell they are authentic because whether it is a dot or line or curve corresponds with the appropriate number, like the dot above the 8 is the bottom of a 7. Sometimes counterfeiters will put fake stamping lines that are easy to spot because they are straight lines everywhere.

Authentic. Not Bonnie Cashin; it wasn't introduced until 1991. Yes, it came with a shoulder strap - you can see the rings for it.

Hello

Can you please help authenticate this item? Sorry the creed is very faded so not sure if you can offer an opinion. I asked the seller for a clearer picture but havent heard back yet. Also, in the first picture, there appears to be some green marks on the strap in the first picture (those are actually leaves because the picture was taken in a garden setting and T 'cleaned up" the picture).

Item: Willis
Seller: Cammie Lienau
Link: https://www.tradesy.com/bags/coach-messenger-bag-red-20215069/?tref=category&t=ger_decrof

If more info is needed, please let me know. Thank you for your time and help.

It's fine. I authenticated the etsy listing for the same bag on Friday.

ETA: seller is violating Tradesy policy by posting a link to her Bonanza account.

No problem. I wasn't objecting to authenticating it again; just pointing out that it was listed in more than one place. You wouldn't save much buying it on etsy or Bonanza but I thought you might want to know.

Thanks -- I know you didn't mind but I felt bad you had to do it twice. I will look at other posts more carefully next time. Appreciate your help as usual :).
