It's too early to have a code showing for which retailer it was made, and any such code would be at the end of the number, not in the middle. And depending on WHICH M in the creed you're referring to it either is the month code or the plant code. See the Salearea Guides for creed and serial number details,

Style 9833 is an International Clutch, made in 1996

The 9818 looks very similar to the 9154 Demi Turnlock. The main difference seems to be the size.

9154 (9" x 5.5" x 2.5"):

I couldn't find 9818 on the Wayback, but there are several listed on eBay The measurements given by sellers are around 11.5" x 6" x 2". Looks like they were all made in Costa Rica in early 2001. Large Demi Turnlock maybe?

I searched for Station Bags in my limited collection of catalog images. The earliest picture I have is from 1983. The strap length was listed as 36" and it was not adjustable.
View attachment 4600515

By 1989, the Station Bag came with a 44" non-adjustable strap, with an option to substitute a 36" strap.

The last Station Bag image I have is from 1997. Still no buckle on the 44" strap. I don't know when (or if) they started offering them with adjustable straps, but it would have been after 1997.

Perfect. The bag I just purchased is from 1994 and the strap is not adjustable so that goes in line with what you've shown here. Thank you for taking the time to dig into in your catalogs. While I do think a strap with a buckle is awfully cute, I definitely want any bag I purchase to have the strap it is supposed to have.

Usually if we notice something not quite right, we'll say so in our reply. Sometimes if it's busy here we may not have time to check on something like whether it has the type of strap it's supposed to have for that year, our concern would be that the strap is genuine. Any time you want specific details checked you can just include that with your authentication request and we;ll try to get to it.

I gotcha, and with Black Friday and holiday shopping coming up I am sure the traffic here will increase even more.

Hi everyone,
I found a black Borough Bag at a local website. Would you be so kind to please authenticate this. The photos on the website include the creed and serial number. Thank you!

Item: Coach Borough Bag medium in black pebbled leather
Listing number: 162949457
Seller: ugauga
Link: https://www.kleiderkreisel.de/damen/umhangetaschen/162949457-coach-umhangetasche-original
Comments: The bag has lost its shape a bit and the end of the middle zipper is exposed. Seems like maybe some stitches are open.

Are there links to sites from which purchased? Even items that have ended should have links.
