Both items have arrived.
The box and the tag with the 2nd item confirms it's style #6994 as you stated. Not sure why the seller didn't note that in the listing and photos.

The first case is actually more of a burgundy shade than the red shown in the photo you posted. From side to side/outer edge of piping to outer edge of piping, it measures about 7.5" wide x 4.5" tall - close to what the seller states. Because it is larger than the diminisions stated for #7193, would it be a different style number and year?

It could be the same year but a different style number that I don't have a catalog photo of. It looks like it is from the same collection.

Hi Authenticators, can you please take a look at this pocket mirror I purchased and share your thoughts? Is it vintage? Do you the style number? Have a photo to share?
Thank you!

I'm not seeing any problems. It isn't vintage.

Hi authenticators! Thank-you for your time. I found a Willis on Facebook marketplace, looks like an E8c-9927. Please let me know if it looks ok. Thank-you!

It's fine.

Any idea what year? Would it have been a factory or outlet item?

 

[whateve]

The handles aren't attached correctly and should be reattached. They shouldn't be from front to back but from left to right.

I thought that too when I saw one of the pictures but the handles look fine in the other pictures. The one where it looks weird is the side of the bag.

I've done more sleuthing and found these photos. Could it be style 6990?

It could be factory. That logo was used on a lot of factory items. I can't remember if it was also used on boutique items. I'm thinking after 2009 or so.

That one is flat. Yours has some depth.

Hum - back to the drawing board. Thank you!

Hello!

GW posted this bag and I was wondering if the male and female parts of the snap are typical for this bag and the other styles with this type of snap from that era/style family, please. I see it was used in a number of bags featured in the 1992 Fall Special Edition catalogue.

I'm a nerd and have been keeping notes on what I've learned here and would like to add a note for this one. Thanks so much!

Hello Ladies! Are you able to authenticate this bag for me? I purchased it at a local thrift store.

Item: It appears to be made after 1994 so the creed doesn’t reflect the Style number but I believe it to be #9635 Convertible Clutch. It measures 11 1/4”w x 7.5”h x 2 1/4”d.

A few things that have got me worried are: the strap is adjustable and I am not sure this was made for this style. More so than that, the strap does not feel at all like the bag. It feels like foam almost. The direction of the hangtag verbiage is also inconsistent with a few other vintage hang tags I have. The hole for the chain should be on the “c” end and this is positioned in the “h” end. It also does not feel like leather but foam. There is also a bullseye near the creed. The male end of the turn lock also looks to be a smidge longer than another turn lock bag I have. Also it’s strange but given the age of this bag, the hardware almost looks too perfect. Thank you so very much for your help!!

A few additional pictures. Thanks again!

It was called a springlock. That one looks typical. The bag is authentic.
