Hi everyone was wondering if you could help me authenticate this for me? The ad has 2 different creed patches I am wondering about the patch that says 'CL8-5496' on the outside.

Item: Leather/Travel Wheel Along

I believe it's authentic and in fact, have some pictures saved from an identical bag. Everything matches exactly. (I think it was discussed here in the past. I'll try to find the discussion.)

ETA: I can't find the previous discussion.

Other opinions are welcome.

These are my pictures from a suitcase that's a few months newer than that in the Tradesy listing.

Both are fine. The second was called a city willis.
 
Boy, these Sundays are long. This bag I bought--looking for authentication now. Bass-ackwards, I know.

Hi Authenicators, I thought I remembered recently there being a comment regarding a more squared end of a leather hang tag and that indicating it was vintage vs. the more rounded shape of newer (or less vintage) leather hang tags. In searching I can't find that info again. Can anyone help or am I just imagining that info was here? Is there any info/guideline to pinpoint when Coach used a particular style of hang tag? Thanks!
The older tags had more squared ends, as seen in this ad (probably early- to mid-1980s):

This 1989 catalog shows hang tags with a slightly more rounded end:
