Ok, one more please. Any thoughts on this one currently listed on eBay? The creed is on an inner pocket instead of the back of the bag and if it's truly from the Bonnie Cashin era that would make it pre-1974?

Item: COACH Vintage Willis Station Leather Purse Crossbody RED RARE Bonnie Cash in
Listing: 302694358236
Seller: creeative1
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/302694358236
It's authentic. The seller put a bunch of stuff in the title that isn't true. It isn't a Willis. It is not Bonnie Cashin. Bonnie Cashin bags won't have a creed. Some station bags have creeds on the pocket like this one. The earliest station bags were made in the mid 80s.
