You've got pre-creed fever! It's authentic. Interesting, the flap is finished with smooth leather on the inside. That's really nice. That's a detail they omitted in later versions.

ETA: although it is Bonnie Cashin era, I don't know that this is a Bonnie Cashin style.

Yes, early 70s. Did you notice there is no piping? That's one of the reasons the flap is lined. Does your other pre-creed have piping?

Will be another two and a half weeks before I know for sure.

This one is probably older then. I saw one like this once that looked new. I'm not sure where I got the photo, maybe ebay?

Obviously not a Regina as you noticed. It's not style #9306 either. The seller used the last 4 digits of the serial number, which on this pre-1994 bag don't indicate the style number.

It looks like a Chelsea Bag, #9894 from around 1989:

Thank you Catbird9 for the style info and catalog. You pretty much got an answer for everything...
