Item: VINTAGE COACH USA BLACK ALL LEATHER SADDLEBAG SHOULDER BAG HOBO #9988
Listing number: 252215650839
Seller: silver47sports

Comments: I understand if the creed is too blurry to authenticate. Thanks for taking a look!

It's probably okay. I'm assuming that year code is an 8.

 

[Raven3766]

It's fine.

Thank you so much. Could you help me with the year? Oh and happy holidays!

 

[whateve]

Thank you so much. Could you help me with the year? Oh and happy holidays!

You're welcome. It's probably from around 1978 - 1982. Happy Holidays to you too!

Thank you, Whateve! Would it help to request any additional pictures from the seller? This bag is going to be a gift, so I want to do everything possible to ensure it is authentic.

As always, thanks to all of you special ladies!

1- the style number on the creed is 9096. I don't have any photos of the base but the one in the listing looks ok

2- ok

3- ok, maybe a City Bag

4 and 5- both look ok.


JUST A HEADS-UP FOR OTHER AUTHENTICATORS

There are a lot of small variations in the P plant (Costa Rica) serial number stamps from 1998, but all the bags seem to be genuine. They must have been continually re-setting and repairing that poor stamping mechanism. It was probably being held together by string and chewing gum and made up of pieces from three or four old or retired stamping presses.

The bag and serial number details seem ok to me too. If time is a factor you can probably risk not getting a clearer photo.

Thank you, Hyacinth! This will definitely be a belated holiday gift, so I'm not concerned about the time. Better to be sure than rush!

Thanks again to you and Whateve for your help. I will let you know if the seller can get a clearer shot of the creed.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Hello all
can anyone of the pros authenticate this for me before I list it
I can't seem to find this exact creed number for this Zoe with other sellers.
Thanks
RC

You didn't bend the rules. I skipped it because I am not familiar with the editorial Zoe.

If none of us own one or have a good set of photos, it might not be possible to make a solid authentication. I only have one photo of that style but compared the few creeds from the same location and date and don't see any obvious problems..
