If you click on the tiny red up-pointing arrow behind the name of the person whose quote appears on the quote box ("poster ID" said ' and then the arrow) it will take you back to the original post she's replying to.

OR you could actually scroll up to BeenBurned's original answer since it's right above your question.

Thank you. Only one of my purses was addressed then and you addressed the other :)

Yep. Sometimes we get involved in something else and miss a question, or one or more of us isn't comfortable with a style or time period and will leave the authentication request for someone who IS comfortable with it. For instance I'll hardly ever reply to questions about styles much newer than 2010 and anything newer than 5 years old is well out of my comfort zone unless there are obvious problems even I can spot. We're also not required to authenticate items if we have serious issues with a selling website or a seller since we see a positive authentication as almost a recommendation, but that's up to the individual authenticator.

There's no way to pin down a year for vintage bags that don't have stamped creeds. Year codes only came into use in 1994. This one could be anywhere from the later 1960s to the mid 1970s. Whateve may be able to narrow it down.

If there's a copyright date or year inside that booklet we know it has to have been made after the copyright date.

This is actually one of the ones that I've been on the lookout for. Can someone look at it for me?

Other than the hangtag (which isn't proof) I'm not seeing a Coach logo anywhere.

And look at the link to the white one just above yours in post 35907. That one looks almost the same and it DOES have the stamped logo. What's odd is the the seam on the bottom of the white one is at 90 degrees to the bottom seam on the tan one. I guess from the trim difference that they may be 2 different styles, but I can't say if the tan one is a Coach.

Another one that Whateve needs to look at.

Thank you, that's really interesting that the bottom seam is completely different.
