Item # (Bonz) - 316324809
Link (Bonz) - http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Vin...Round-Canteen-Chester-Black-Leather/316324809

Comments - among other things, I note the following:
1. No serial number
2. Both zipper pulls are different from others of same style
3. Creed is stamped too high up and too close to the pocket
4. Cartouche looks wrong

Opinions please? TIA!

Did this plant use different stamps at the same time? The major difference I see is in the underscore under the o in No.

This listing is a comp to the one from the above seller. The side-by-side below shows differences.

Could someone please authenticate these 2 Coach bags?
Gifts from a client who knows I'm obsessed...bought them at GW Bargain Barn for spare change
First one approx. 8.5"w x 5"h x 2.5"d. Strap 5.75" to rings.
1999 Canvas Bleeker Demi maybe? #6115. I have a larger one with a flap.
Thanks in advance!

And this one?
Approx. 7.75"w x 5"h x 2"d. Handle 3" to body. Strap 25.5 to rings.
1996 Casino Bag #9924, yes? I have 2 others...one white, one green.
Thanks again!

Both look good.

Surfing photos and found this site that is selling fakes. Now what?

So obviously fake upon first glance!

Yes, it is fake. Besides the things you noted: Coach never made a zipper pull like that. They are quite common on fakes. There is no zipper stop at the end of the zipper.

The underscore is actually the only difference. Either the entire "o" might have been changed, or maybe the o and the underscore were separate components and could be selected individually. But the rest of the stamp, both creed and serial number, is the same. As long as the stamping mechanisms still used separate and changeable digits it's a good possibility that changes like that happened on the fly.

Hi, I would appreciate an opinion on this Coach pouch please. It looks good to me but the only other one I found was almost identical to it but included numbers on the creed. I know that detail can vary with accessory bags so I just want to be sure. Thanks!

It looks fine to me. The style number should be 40245.

Coach made 2 very similar styles in Legacy sateen fabric, maybe one was a later remake or MFF outlet style. There may have been a size difference between the 2, here are Coach's original drilldown photos, 40245 on the top and 40664 below with either narrower stripes or just a larger size. There was also a similar one made with a twill-type fabric.
