Good morning! I have three bags that I found at a local thrift store for authentication. Thank you (as always!) for your help!

Vintage Buckle Flap? Made in NYC (unique serial)
9" x 7 1/2" x 2"
I have seen these bags every now and then in this thread and always hoped I would find one myself! Did this style come in a bigger size? It's smaller IRL than I expected.

And the last is a Murphy Bag made in the USA style 9930
7" x 9" x 2 3/4"
All three look good. The first one is a saddle pouch standard 9590. It came in more than one size. The large is a decent size: 11 x 9 x 2.

The second one...

MacDougal Zip? 4130 made in USA
8 1/2" x 7" x 3 3/4"

And the last is a Murphy Bag made in the USA style 9930
7" x 9" x 2 3/4"

All of them are genuine.

The first one was called a Saddle Pouch and came in 3 different sizes, although most of the time only 2 sizes were available. The Small may have been discontinued in the early 1980s, the picture below was in the 1981 and 1982 catalogs

Small, 9 x5 x 2, # 9595

Standard or Medium, 9 x 7 x 1 1/2, # 9590

Large, 10 1/2 x 8 x 2, # 9585

Item: Vtg COACH Leather SADDLE BAG CrossBody PURSE. Burgundy/Maroon/Oxblood #891-1814
Listing number: 131658989057
Seller: vanessa333
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131658989057?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Comments: I got this today and it looks good, but I wanted to check with the experts. Dimensions in the listing are accurate. The strap shorter than I expected and so it can't be worn crossbody, though. I was also wondering, is there a name for this style, and any guesses to when it was made? Thanks so much! The leather is very nice and I am excited to carry it if it's genuine.

I just realized after some more Googling that the burgundy bag I got might be a Classic Pouch #9170, if authentic. But please let me know if I'm wrong!

You're right about it being a Classic Pouch, the strap is right and the measurements fit. It's really hard to date those, all I'm sure of is that it was probably made some time in the early to middle 1980s, and by that time would have been called a Classic Shoulder Bag instead of a Classic Pouch.

Hi everyone! I just bought three Coach purses from my Goodwill, never owned any sort of designer bag. One I'm positive is fake, another I'm pretty sure is fake, but I still want to post pictures of them, I suppose for future reference/catalog/archive. The one I'm posting in this reply is the one I am unsure about and would like to be authenticated. Thank you!
