Yes, it was one of those impulse buys that later on had me thinking, so I asked for the authenticator's opinion.

I explained to the seller that I wanted to cancel, because it had been confirmed here to be counterfeit. Seller replied that no that it was authentic but would agree to cancel. I sent another message with the info given as why is not real, something I didn't mention at first, if now knowing the details still is not removed, then obviously is a shady seller.
I think she might have gotten the message after ebay removed the listing!
 
Hi.Authenticators.
Can you take a look at this bucket?

Item: Coach bucket
Where purchased or how obtained: FB live bidding
Comments: I just bid it on live fb but then I cancelled because when I messaged for the serial number, it was JMM- 9165. Made in The United States. I just want to make sure I was right to cancel. The creed is a little blur though.
Thank you in advance.

It's fake. I've seen enough JHM serial prefixes to recognize it when I see one!
 
Item: Green Mattress-Ticking Lined Wallet
Seller: Local Thrift Store
Dimensions: 7.25" long by 4.25" tall

Comments: Please offer an opinion about authenticity, thank you. I haven't come across one of these "mattress-ticking lined" accessories in a long time. My memory is that they were probably made in the late 1980s, is that correct?

Was anyone ever able to find the name of this line and/or the names of some of the products? I've looked through the catalog pages without having any luck. I've been calling it a "Turnlock Flap Wallet" but I don't know the actual name. I think that it's a wallet because it has a stripe-lined zip change compartment and a bill compartment, but there are no slots for cards. I suppose it could be called a case or a pouch instead of a wallet? Any information you can share would be appreciated, thanks in advance for your help!

Looks fine.
 
Item: Black Station
Listing number: 147132155
Seller and site where listed
Link: shopgoodwill.com/item/147132155
Comments:
This one is plant code E, and the same prefix has been posted previously and confirmed to be Italy’s code. But this bag says US manufacture, so I’m not sure what to think.
Thanks for all you do, authenticators!
Yep, fake.
 
Item: Another station bag
Listing number: 146855550

Link: shopgoodwill.com/item/146855550
Comments: I’m thinking it’s fake. It’s really the stitching on the front that is throwing me. Thank you so much!
