Hello dear authenticators,

I woke in the middle of the night last night, racked with the feeling that the bags I purchased recently are not genuine. I've already removed the hardware, dunked them and given them a dose of Leather Therapy. If they are fakes, they are good quality ones, but I would love to have my mind put at ease and know one way or the other.

Here are the ebay listings. I can try to provide extra photos if you need them.

And lesson learned: to avoid sleepless nights, ******************! I may need a few more checking...

Many thanks in advance!

The second listing is an authentic Scooter bag from around 1993.
I need better photos for the first listing. I don't think all three creeds are posted and I don't know which one goes with which bag. The numbers posted in the listing don't match the photos. I would also like a clearer picture of the back of the turnlocks.

I think she might be colorblind!

Authentic. The Sheridan turnlocks were different from the classic styles. Everything is different on a Sheridan.

Woo hoo on the Sheridan. Hope I win it.
On the other listing, she said the bag is brown and looks just like the photos. Will see when it arrives. Color blind might just be it. Maybe she can't see red!

One more for today to authenticate. Thanks.

Whateve, thanks for the one affirmation! I will try to get photos of the others tonight. 1/4 of a sigh of relief so far! Thank you!

Please authenticate. The turnlock facing doesn't look right. I'm hoping it's authentic......

If the seller's measurememnts are accurate (except for the depth measurement) that may be one of the Sheridans we haven't identified yet. There are still at least half a dozen unnamed styles. It's a lot like a Stewart Bag but much bigger, the Stewart is listed as 7 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. Unless someone here has a name and number for it?

the only one in my files with this shape is the Stewart. I didn't have the measurements listed so I didn't know it was such a small bag. I think I've seen this larger version more than once.

Thank you!

I've never seen this style before but I don't see any problems with it. I would definitely pick the made in Italy one. I know that the leather from the 90s, especially that from Italy, was the best. This one is suede lined! To be honest, the Catskill is a made for factory style and I haven't been happy with the leather on some recent bags I've seen at the outlet.

Thank you whateve!
I did not know that the Catskill was a made for factory model and I also had concerns about the leather ( there were already ugly spots on the front at the base).
It will be the Calfskin, I have never bought a Limited Edition anything before so hope it is worth the price!

You're welcome! I hope it is as nice as it looks. Please let me know what you think.

We may never know unless we find one with a style number. All the catalog listings show the smaller measurements, here's the Fall '93 one, the one from the listing is the second photo.

thanks for the picture. It is hard to imagine it being that tiny.

 

[Hyacinth]

thanks for the picture. It is hard to imagine it being that tiny.

That's what I thought too, it's too small to be very practical. And the proportions seem the same as the bag in the listing that's supposed to be bigger.

That's what I thought too. I wonder if the catalogs were wrong.

Hi guys! Could anyone authenticate this wallet for me? No numbers, but Coach stamped on the front, inside and on the metal rivet of the pull tab for the zipper. Oh, and it has the Coach fabric in one section. It looks like it might be vintage, but it may just be well loved and darkened from use.
