To tag on to Hyacinth's comments, I'll just add that we avoid giving "values" or selling prices because there are so many variables. Condition, color, desirability and availability are just some of the variables but when an item was made to commemorate a specific event, i.e., a golf tournament in this case, the Olympics, a company or other specific occasion, the existence of an imprint can have a positive or negative impact on what someone might be willing to pay, depending on their impression of the company whose name is stamped on it.

If you want to sell it, you'll have to figure out which size/style it is and search listings and websites for the same item with the same measurements, find listed items, unsold and sold items. You can base your selling price on other comps as well as on how patient you're willing to be to wait for the right buyer willing to pay "your price."
 
Hi All, I got some bags in a lot at an estate sale and there are a few wonky ones.
The creed is hard to read - lettering not clear, I did my best with this photo.

Thank you!!

2 more coming, and one with the ever popular "J8H-" prefix

WONKY #3
This has the J8H-

J8H-9992 (The 9992 seems correct- a lot of these are fake for some reason)

I'm sure the lady that collected these for the estate sale - THOUGHT - they were real - there wasn't any easy way to tell years ago. Most of her bags were real, she probably picked these up at Goodwill in SF where we get lots of fakes).

Hi. This is my first time requesting authentication. I'm new to collecting vintage Coach. I'm curious about the authenticity of this double strapped Dinky. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a listing on eBay, seller name is malbec_21.

Thank you.
