Both are authentic, made in the early 90s. The first is a city bag spectator #6790, the second is a Baxter bag #9903.

Please help authenticate this convertible clutch, thanks :heart:
ebay : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/325470576564
seller : raymond2599
eBay item number:325470576564
comments : the 6th number in the creed is only half stamped - appears to be a "3"
also, I've noticed the zipper pull on the inside of the bag has turned silver - was not sure if this is normal ?

Authentic. No problem with the number - the stamping mechanism was turned wrong. The metal on the zipper pulls often turns silver or gray. It's not brass like the rest of the hardware. Nice that you got the box too.
 
Both appear authentic. I've only seen the squeeze keycase with just the Coach cartouche (no Leatherware Est. 1941). It was a late 1980s/early 1990s item made only with brass hardware and had a different type of keyring with style #7215. Since this has silver hardware, it was made later and may have a different style number. It could have been made for factory, or the seller just bought it there.
Hi Authenticators,
I was wondering if this could be an authentic Leatherware Est. 1941 Squeeze Keycase as mentioned from this old post? It was inside a bag I bought from Goodwill and it looks ok to me but would love your expert opinion. Thank you!

Most likely one of the dozens, maybe hundreds, of SLG (small leather goods) items made for the outlets every holiday season to be bought as stocking stuffers or for family or business gift exchanges. Probably less than 20 years old.

Do I understand correctly that I have to incur 5 posts and be a member for 5 days before I can ask to have a bag authenticated? Is there anything I’m missing?

Thanks,
SCGrl

I don't believe that particular Rule applies to authentication requests, but please wait for confirmation.

Rules specifically for the "Authenticate This..." threads are posted in Post number 1 of each thread and usually in a READ ME post at the top of each authentication thread page.
I'm catching up so this may have been answered already.

You don't need 5 posts to get a bag authenticated.
