It's genuine. There aren't any measurements so I'm not going to try and confirm its identity but it was made right around 1988 which is when those 8-number mistakes happened.

A check of the Salearea Guides about creeds and serial numbers would have shown:
" Up until the end of the 1990s, the serial numbers were mostly hand-stamped using a mechanism that allowed the operator to change numbers quickly, and often in early Coaches you can see the top or bottom of the next number in line above or below the actual serial number (the forum term for that is "overstamping). And rarely in the late 1980s the dash between the two halves was skipped over and a string of 8 numbers would be stamped. Neither of these production glitches means that the bag is a fake although we've actually seen some fakes with phony overstamping marks, and neither did numbers that were off-center, angled, or bumping into the border of the creed statement. Contrary to what all too many “guides” say, early Coaches were NOT perfect and uneven numbers are NOT always signs of a fake. But they still need to be checked by an expert since the same things can be found in fakes. "

PAGE 2 THE CENTERED C RULE or THE C'S ARE PERFECTLY STRAIGHT RULE MOSTLY true, with plenty of exceptions. The center seam or a line down the front of a bag with Signature or Op Art C's should usually divide it into 2 halves that are mirror images of each other. But: Sometimes the back isn't...

If you haven't had a chance to read the Guides yet along with the Daria48 Fake Numbers List and the other updates that follow the Guides, I recommend it.

Hello would you please authenticate this hat I received from my aunt? It's about 7.5" x 11" leather rim canvas hat. Thank you

Are there any tags or labels inside the cap? Please post a clear closeup of the buckle on the back of the cap. If there's any writing on it, it should be clear.

It doesn't look right but I'd like to see more pictures before concluding.

Hello



My sister just found this little multifunction tucked in my moms old tack box and I’d love to have it authenticated… the zipper isn’t stamped with “eclair”, it has a bullseye and she hasn’t come across the hang tag yet I don’t want to question what I know about early 90s multifunctions but this one definitely has me wanting to know more. Thanks!

It looks fine. These were made for many years. As far as I know these never came with hangtags. I believe I had one new in the box once and it didn't have a hangtag. The zipper on yours is a little different, may have been from an earlier production run. Some of these had the place of manufacture stamped behind the zipped pocket.

The style number is 7219.

ETA: I've sold 4, 1 of which had a hang tag.

It does appear that some come with one:

thank you. I have read them so I knew about the 8 digits but wanted confirmation. The bag is roughly 9.5 x 7 x 3.
