Here's a side-by-side comparison of both fake and real listings by yourgoodfortuneonline showing the differences in the hangtags, the shape of the "leather" trim on the bags, and especially the tiny Coach logo and cartouche on the bottom edge of every genuine style 1743, and below that, Coach's own website photo:

Those side by side comparisons really help. I can see the differences. Thank you!
 
I think this one might be a fake.
-the box around the creed is not complete
-the leather feels different then other vintage purses that I have purchased
-the stitching seems sloppy

I tried to research others like it online but for some reason I could not find another like it, even though I have seen them posted in the past.

thank you for authenticating & providing it's name

more pics, if wouldn't let me upload more than one.


I am sorry for the multiple posts. if you need more pics let me know.

It looks fine to me. It's a Brighton bag 9895.

I've never been able to find a catalog or website photo or style number for it. But I have a file photo that I saved back in 2008 of exactly the same keychain. What makes me incline toward "genuine" is that there's nothing stamped on the backs of any of the charms. Fakes makers from 8 or more years ago would most likely have stamped a badly-made Coach logo on every single one, and the Coach logos on the fronts wouldn't be as perfect as they are on this one.

It's not solid proof but it's the best guess I can make.
