I picked up 4 bags at an antique shop today - could you check them out when time allows please? Hoping they are ok to start rehabbing but I got them super cheap so if not, I won’t spend the time on them. I have a ruler in pics for size reference. If I forgot anything please let me know. Having trouble uploading multiple photos so I will attach pics of first bag here and do the next 3 separate. Hope that’s OK. Thanks so much!

Bag 3 from antique store. Do you know the color name for this yellow? It’s kind of a bright mustard. Thanks!

All 4 are authentic. I believe the color of the ergo was just called yellow. #2 looks like a bucket bag #4075 from the Lightweights collection.
 
Would you please look at this this Coach Saddle Bag? Thank you.
Item: Vintage COACH Saddle Bag w Buckle Shoulder Handbag Gray New York City USA
Listing#: 174320574591

Seller: flyingmonkeyfinds
Site where listed: eBay

Comments: Is it from the late 70s. I can’t tell if that is a scrape on the bottom or a rip in the leather. To me some of the stitching looks a bit off.

It's authentic. The ding on the bottom looks like a small chunk of leather missing. She describes it as "indent marks on front flap and pinhead size scrape on bottom of bag" but it doesn't look like that to me.

Can someone look at this seahorse necklace please. The chain is super light. I have the fish pendant necklace and the best chain on that is heavy and this chain feels like plastic! It's missing stones that I was going to replace so I got it super cheap.

I see differences, especially in the clip, the chain and the hangtag. I don't believe it's authentic.

Wow, I was worried that it was worse than described. Thank you for the enlargement. My phone doesn’t do a very good job. Thanks again.

Are you sure? That's the listing I compared to but I couldn't see any difference. Do you have a stock pic of this? I would love to compare the details. I'm super bummed that it's fake! Do you know the style number by any chance?

No, I'm not positive but the clip on the comp is considerably more substantial.

I don't have a style number.

In the following picture, I horizontally flipped the clip in question so the comparison is clearer.

I have this necklace. Give me some time to pull mine out.

The photos of the chains with clasps show it in comparison with the turtle, which should be the same as your fish necklace. The brighter gold (bigger one) is the seahorse chain. The seahorse charm isn't removable as it won't fit over the ring the end of the chain.

Mine is also not removable. I think my necklace is ok. It looks just like yours and I see yours is also shinier than the turtle's chain. The turtle's chain has a satin matte finish and the seahorse one has a shiny finish.
