It's authentic.

Thank you, @BeenBurned! I thought so.

A family member purchased a bag on ebay as a gift using my account (with permission, of course). The bag is smaller than anticipated and I was asked to verify that it's authentic. Thank you in advance, authenticators!

VTG Coach Crescent Saddlebag Pre-Creed Hippie Flap Purse Bag Leather Mocha
Seller: calup930
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255043655458
Item: 255043655458

The bag is small, which I also did not expect. I've had vintage saddle and crescent bags before (sadly sold) and all were larger.
Frankly I think it's real but promised I'd ask.

It's probably a saddle bag small #9205.

Thank you so much, @whateve. That was very helpful.

Please authenticate the following:

Item: Station Bag
In my possession (I think from a thrift store a while back)
Comments: The stamping is inside the front pocket instead of inside the main compartment. Not sure if this is a stamping mistake or because it is the two tone or earlier version? Any info. is greatly appreciated.

It's a genuine Station Bag Spectator made in the late 1980s.

It's authentic. I've seen it before but have never seen a catalog with it. I've never seen a card case in that kind of leather but I don't see any issues.

There are several shots of two other styles from the same line in the Spring 1998 catalog. I suppose "Pearlized" is as close as we can come to a line name although there were a scattering of other pearlized styles over the next few years.

The photographer who encapsulated the gorgeousness and simplicity of these bags is awesome.

I was looking to see if either style was listed in Holiday 1999, but they are not. They do list a color option of pewter, which may fit this.
