Would you please authenticate? I'm very interested in your thoughts on this bean bag creed, given when this style was made. Thanks!

Item: Ranch bag
Seller ID: mar20152
Item #: 272659480355
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coach-Leather-Black-Purse-Handbag-N-085-Made-in-USA-/272659480355?
Comments: creed is kinda puffy but it may be the angle, partly turned digit in the serial #

ETA: item #

It seems ok, and the serial number has the right font. The genuine Bean Bag creeds should be in bags from around the end of 1990 and the Ranch Bag fits the time period even though the 3+4 serial format had been replaced in 90-95 percent of bags in early 1990. This is probably one of the exceptions, some of which were still using the 3+4 format well in 1992. I'd say it's genuine.

Thank you - a very interesting one! Looks like it sold right as you posted, but not to me. I appreciate your thoughts, all the same.

Are you asking about just the city bag or the second bag too?(oops, I see that you edited your post.)

Both look fine.
 
Please authenticate at your convenience, TIA!
Purchased on eBay circa 2004. Genuine impulse buy lol. Looking to sell or gift it as it is rarely used. What I hope is an authentic 'Counter top' bag. That is how I refer to it ever since seeing that (ridiculous) name. Measurements follow attachments IMG_0148.JPGIMG_0145.JPGIMG_0144.JPG
9" x 5" x 2 3/4"
