Many vintage Coaches had creeds but no serial numbers. This is covered both in the Salearea Guides pinned to the top of these Shopping pages and in SacsMagnifiques1941's Guide to Hangtags and Creeds that still is available in a cached Wayback page:

It might be helpful to read those 2 sets of Guides when you get a chance. The bag is genuine, Whateve may have a name for it.

I absolutely definitely undoubtedly need to read those SaleArea guides again. I do appreciate your help Hyacinth! Thank you so very much!!

Looks good to me, late 1980s.

Thank you, Hyacinth! Daughter finally got her red vintage bag. She's thrilled!

 

[Hyacinth]

Thank you! Any idea what the style name is?

It looks like a style 4025 Shoulder Pouch from the late 1980s Lightweight Collection.

When you have got them all done ...can you show us a group shot in the Second hand treasures and Coach Second hand bargains thread...think everyone will be interested in your wonderful finds.

Absolutely! I didn't think so yesterday though. When I got the bags home, I saw the missing serial numbers and funky zippers on some of the bags and my heart just plummeted. I was already rehearsing my "I want my money back, it's illegal to sell counterfeit bags" speech for when I called the guy back. This is so freaking cool! The original lot was for 17 bags but when I started to pretend I knew what I was talking about with the metal stamps and cartouche imprints the guy pulls out this second trash bag of bags and says "You seem to really appreciate these, why don't you just take these ones too?" Then he gives me the Beekman briefcase, both of the other briefcases, the clutch, and the suspender bag for no extra charge. Holy crap!! I feel like I robbed him now.

I'm sure I got a dud in this pile somewhere....wait till you see this Willis monstrosity I have. I haven't gotten pics of that one yet. Either way, it's well worth it by now!

That's like my ideal situation lol. I think I would've died! How many bags did you get total.
