Can you please authenticate? Bought from Goodwill online, and there weren't very good photos, now that its in my possession, I am concerned. The metal backplate for the turn lock is completely flat, I've never seen one like that before. Usually they have a groove between two puffy pieces the the prongs of the turn lock. I believe its 9755, pocket purse? Dimensions are 9.5 x 6 x 2.5. Strap is about 43.5" tip of hardware to tip of hardware.

The bag is okay.

It's possible that the male part of the turnlock hardware was replaced.

You're correct, it's a 9755 Pocket Purse, probably from about 1989-1990.

I've seen that flat male turnlock backing plate on several older bags I have rehabbed. The backs of both turnlocks on your bag look almost new (and the bag overall appears to be in beautiful condition). It may be the original hardware.

Thanks for your response. I just received this morning another bag I purchased from Goodwill, a black Court bag, also from before the style numbers were included on the creed. It also has a flat plate behind the turn lock. It's not in as good condition as the pocket purse, though. Time to rehab!

Authentic from 2001.

Please remember link to listings and seller IDs in requests. (Not necessary to repost this one. Just remember for next time.)

Also, when the pictures are in the listing, it's not necessary to post in the request. Only in cases where a listing is missing pictures and the seller sent them by email/message is it necessary to post those extra pics.

Both are fine.

Second is a Murphy, not Willis and not Murphy Willis.
