My computer and Poshmark have decided to not "play nice" with each other for some reason, probably advanced age, (my computer, not Posh), and I can't access the photo(s) of the creed and serial number. If you can copy and post a readable pic of those, I'll be happy to take another look.

And I think you asked about another bag from the same seller? I wasn't able to see those photo details either, if so please copy them too if you can. Thank you.
Oh no problem, I believe @whateve confirmed that the other bag is authentic, but I have another one from the same seller (ginaboyle on Poshmark ). I took some screenshots from Poshmark since I could not download the pictures, hopefully they are still as detailed as the original.

I really appreciate you taking a look, this one bag I have been after for a while and decided to take the plunge without confirming here first let’s see if it wasn’t a mistake.

Hi Authenticators! You're the bestest! Can I please get this City bag authenticated?

Item: Vintage City
Got it: Estate sale
Comments: Totally thought it was real. Brought it home and the poor dye penetration on the interior seams threw me off. In that last photo the white "tag" is the Inspected By "#" paper, I forgot to remove it. Also, the original Registration paper and the 1992 mini insert catalog were in the bag.

Authentic city bag made in 1992. They used to shave the interior leather at the seam allowance to make it easier to sew. It's normal to see white on the interior seams.
 
Hi Authenticators!
Appreciate your time to authenticate the bag below. Currently on mobile, apologies in advance for any formatting errors.

Item: No sure
Where is it found: Local thrift shop
Remark: I don’t know much about this bag, but it’s super cute. Pictures below. Appreciate if anyone can help to ID this bag if it’s authentic.

Genuine. Please remember to include measurements especially when it's a bag made before the style number became part of the serial number.

If it measures about 8x6x3 inches it's a Chauncey Bag style 9897 from around 1992-93.
 
Oh no problem, I believe @whateve confirmed that the other bag is authentic, but I have another one from the same seller (ginaboyle on Poshmark ). I took some screenshots from Poshmark since I could not download the pictures, hopefully they are still as detailed as the original.

Thank you. You're safe, it's a genuine Convertible Clutch, style number 9635 and probably made in the late 1980s.

Thank you so much @Hyacinth I was worried because when it comes to bags pre-style # I’m a bit clueless. I do check the basics like stitching, hardware, spelling and if the leather looks real but when it comes to the creed # I don’t know what to check :whut: I saw on this thread that the font/style of the numbers sometimes gives clues to whether it’s authentic or not. Thank you so much for verifying and taking the time to take a look :ty:
 
Would you please authenticate this bag I purchased at the consignment shop? It's about 9" x 9" x 2.5"
