Slightly snarky seller prompts this request for authentication. I'm not even sure I'm interested in it.

  Comments: The serial number looks odd in that there are only 3 numbers after the dash and as far as I know O2Z-532 and the back of the creed patch looks spray painted to match the bag. The grommets look silver versus brass.

Thanks for your help. I think someone saw it posted here and bought it. I appreciate the time you took.
The number I saw on the creed was Z and 9551. I should have written that In the comments.
I guess when you post others may see it and buy it.

I saw the Z and the 9951. I needed to see the entire number, including the "No." and the wording of the creed that says where the item was made. I'm sorry you missed out but I don't know if you would have wanted to take a chance without knowing it was authentic.

Soon after I posted it here, someone bought it...

The full creed would still be needed to authenticate the bag with accuracy.

Thanks so much for the time you take to help others! It is so much appreciated.

I have a pre-style number, pre-1994, duffle sac that was authenticated here and is Flannel Grey. The only way I can distinguish it is by putting it against a black bag. I haven't seen many in Grey--nice find!

That's good to know! Thank you

The Rambler's a great bag, and probably my favorite vintage style. I love the way it looks.

BTW, I bought mine pre-owned on Ebay and somehow it came with a 48-inch strap. So as I said, don't believe any "rules" you hear about straps. Apparently a previous owner found an extra-long strap that was a perfect match. Since I wear most of my bags cross-body, the extra-long length was perfect. Standard length is supposed to be about 44 inches but some may have the replaceable 36-inch length.If the seller doesn't list the length, don't be afraid to ask.

One thing to be very careful of when buying vintage bags online is to check the strap length and the strap ends very carefully. When the fashion for wearing "shoulder bags" long and hanging straight down to the hip from the shoulder changed to a shorter length tucked under the arm, some owners of older styles with longer straps either managed to find shorter replacement straps, or did the unthinkable and actually cut the ends of the straps and poked extra buckle holes and sometimes messed with the hardware. We've seen some really bad "chop jobs" on older straps and you always need to check and make sure the strap is in original condition and that the length is actually what it's supposed to be or what you need it to be. If you're not sure, have it authenticated here (which you should be doing anyway) and ask us to check and see if the strap has been altered. To confuse things even more, Coach sometimes changed the standard strap length between or even during production runs.

The rambler’s a beauty, such a lucky find. I’ve been staring at it all day impatiently waiting for it to dry lol.

There’s so much to know about vintage Coach, wow! Super interesting. I’ll definitely be sure to have you guys take a look at anything I’m aiming to purchase. I bought a beautiful Lenox bag earlier this year that someone hacked the strap on and didn’t disclose. Heart break!
