It's fake. I had the previous listing on my watch list as I came across it but didn't look at all the pics. Suddenly I got an offer for $8 and of course I bought it and then saw the serial number! I asked to cancel my order immediately with the message that it wasn't authentic and it was cancelled right away. I'm surprised to see it relisted because I know the seller knows now it's fake.

Thanks. I'm going to report both the current and the completed listings.

BTW, I saw that it had been sold then relisted so I looked to see if there'd been a neg left.

Thank you both so much! I was really excited to find this "pocketbook."

lol, pocketbook! How old do you have to be to call it a pocketbook?

Heck, I'm probably one of the oldest posters here and have never called them pocketbooks.

It must be an East Coast thing.

Authentic. I had one and was told it's Double Entry Retro Swing Bag, style 9002. (Thank you @whateve for supplying the name at the time!)

Likewise. And I am older than you.

I was thinking it was regional, too. I was raised in NJ in the 70s/80s and I call them pocketbooks sometimes (just like my grandmom did) but now call them purses. I see most people seem to call them bags which makes me chuckle.

I never understand how/why people call bags pocketbooks. It's not even a book! It's a bag! How did they even get that name? Is there a logical explanation?

How do you know that? Has everyone posted their age around here?

There is probably an explanation but I don't know it. However, I believe that purse was used to designate a coin purse so that word wasn't used. Maybe it was called pocket book because it was shaped like a book and had a pocket. Or as this explanation suggests, because it was a book like leather folder.
