Authenticators, grace me with your knowledge please!

Where purchased: in a lot of "need to be rehabbed purses"on local FB marketplace
Creed: 1380-314
Notes: Similar to a greensboro or monitcello, but can't find this exact style anywhere? It's missing the crossbody strap and the male part of the turnlock.

Thanks for all you do!

BEWARE: taoadef0 also sold this fake.

Yep. A brand-new seller, no selling OR buying history except for 2 fakes including one REALLY bad one. And an ID that includes a common Chinese word.

I wouldn't touch anything that ebay seller taoadef0 lists in the future for all the tea in China. Which, my spidey-sense tells me, is probably where that seller and/or their items are actually coming from.

Just a word to the wise. I doubt very much if you'll be able to replace the male part of the turnlock. That type was only available on Sheridans for maybe a year or 2, and that was 30 years ago. Coach never used it again.

It looks like a genuine Sheridan Elliot Bag, style 4235 and made in 1993 or very early 1994.

The turnlock probably would have looked like this one from a Sheridan Lauren Bag style 4234:

Thanks! Wow this particular model does seem to be crazy rare. I feel less bad about not being able to find it. I figured it was legit because the stitching and quality are excellent, but it was a mystery to me! Thanks again!
 
Is this little guy authentic? It’s in my hot little hands.
The JRT dog charm is authentic, style 7321 but the keyring was replaced (and not disclosed) by a non-Coach ring.

Seller horsefeathersantiques needs be more careful or she'll find herself dinged with "not as described" claims.

In addition to the undisclosed replacement keyring in the listing you purchased, she has this listing as "rose gold" but it's gold, not rose gold.
