Hello! Could someone please authenticate this bag? Thank you in advance, wonderful people!

Listing number: 225904945795
Seller: Eli shops the 254
Site: Ebay
Link: www.ebay.com/itm/225904945795
Comments: The creed stamp is super light / photo not great, but it looks like has the "made in" separately below the rest of the stamp (without it being Made in NYC), as I know was done for a while, but it looks like it says just "made in USA" instead of "Made in the United States" - I've tried searching the forums but have missed anything turning up if it's there - was this known to have been used for a time?

The full number is impossible to read but I think it is authentic. It looks like a shoulder pouch #4025. It's part of the lightweights line made 1989-1993. Both "made in U.S.A." and "made in the United States" were used on creeds at that time. That's the period of time when Coach had two plants.

I love it! It looks authentic. I don't have a catalog picture. The listing doesn't provide measurements. I wonder how big it is. Once I passed up on what I think was a smaller version of this in lavender and I've been kicking myself ever since.
Love the bag! Could it be like this one (sold out) that I faved from Etsy? Still no style number or catalog photo, but very similar to my untrained eye.
