Thank you again, everyone.

Both are genuine. The first one is probably from the late 1970s or very early 1980s, the second was made in the early 1990s.
 
This was my first time buying on Etsy. I'm not familiar with the platform yet so I don't know how long that blue Station had been listed but I tossed my dog off my lap and ran for my credit card as soon as I saw it. I am glad I got lucky but I should have known better and asked for authentication first. I'm just so worried about lurkers, especially with bags I've been looking for for a long time. This is only the second bright blue Station I've ever seen before, aside from Valv54's.
I’ve been watching that bag, glad you got her! 97 blue!!!
