Thanks for the link Hyacinth. It's full of great information and I do remember reading this now .."when 2004 rolled around, a zero had to be put in front of the old 1-digit month code so as not to create confusion"

I'm glad you found the Guides useful. There's a lot of information there, and I found that it helps to read the Guides a few times a year just to refresh your memory. I do it myself. Once you get to be my age, there's a limit to how much information the brain can hold. I hope that refreshing the important information like what's in the Guides can help get rid of the old bits and pieces I never use any more, like the phone number of my best friend in grade school, she hasn't had that number for more than 50 years. (TOwnhall 3-1051. Hasn't happened yet but I keep trying! )

You're too funny. I was going to say something like my memory is like oatmeal and needs to be stirred once in a while so we're definitely on the same page.

Hi Authenticators,

This is the first of three bags obtained from Shopgoodwill several weeks ago (https://shopgoodwill.com/item/175278506). I am hoping they can be authenticated.

Authenticators, this is the second of three bags obtained from shopgoodwill.com (https://shopgoodwill.com/item/175278506)

And finally the third of three bags obtained from shopgoodwill.com (https://shopgoodwill.com/item/175278506):

Color reproduction is particularly bad for this set.

Color reproduction is particularly bad for this set.

And the creed is upside down and hard to read for the authenticators.

Would appreciate help in authenticating this bag, which I bought on eBay. Do you know its official name?
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1261017717...gbA_SMBTwi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Seller: Kim_3791
Creed number: A3S-9186
eBay item # 126101771794
Comment: I looked up style 9186 on this for him, and the search comes up empty. I searched online and found quite a few bags like the one I bought with the 9186 serial number, and took a chance on buying it, but I’m disturbed that I can’t find anything with this serial number here on PF. It looks like it came from one of the outlet shops.
