Dear Authenticators,

I found this older bag at an estate sale in a box of very old and weathered leather bags. The strap is clearly a newer, makeshift replacement (different hardware and leather does not match the colour or amount of wear on the bag). I'm skeptical but curious if the bag itself is authentic.

Approx 8.5" long and 6.75" wide. Thank you for taking a look!

Thank you, BeenBurned. Lessons learned - that was my first SLG and I should have done my research and asked here first!

If I were you, I'd return it and ask for (at least) an exchange if not a refund. By law, they are supposed to verify authenticity before selling items and clearly, they didn't do that.

Sorry but that bag is fake. The serial number is a known invalid one.

Thank you for confirming! Appreciate you taking the time.

Yes, thank you, I will see about that when they reopen Monday!

The bag is authentic but you cannot necessarily trust listings that were authenticated by Entrupy. Entrupy's record of accuracy isn't that great.

Here is a 1996 catalog page that lists yellow for Watson.

Hi, wondering if this vintage Sonoma is authentic. The creed starts with a 5, which is totally throwing me off. Is it a possible printing error, or is it a fake?Thanks!
