Title: Vintage COACH Leather Messenger Bag With Turn Knob
Listing # 59858304

I'm sure this one is probably authentic but I just want to know what the actual name of the bag is, and if the measurements are acurate? Also maybe a date range for styles like this one? I REALLY want one that looks like the station bag but I think the station bag might be too small for me.

That's a Willis Bag and it's a bit bigger than the Station Bag. The measurements are accurate. The Willis has been made since about 1993.

There's another questionable bag in the lot - the shape and spacing of the C pattern on the black and white signature bag is wrong.

I'm really impressed with how sharp-eyed & knowledgeable you all are!

BTW, FYI, I just read the eBay description on that lot of "authentic" bags wherein Seller claims to be cleaning out her closet.

Checking back on this Seller's feedback history, the white Soho (which comes with a receipt), I found that it was actually an earlier eBay buy -- i.e., NOT from her own closet (ebay #260679518966 ended 10/24, seller: s.tisdale119)

Welcome to tPF.

The bag is authentic. The only "problem" appears to be that the top zipper pull seems to be missing and the seller attached the hangtag to it to use as the pull.

That said, the seller did sell a "lot" of Coach items that has at least one fake Coach bag:

Really? Which one? What gave it away? (I'd like to learn to spot better -- train my eyes!)

You're absolutely correct. ALthough the seller claimed to be cleaning out her closet, you found the source of that bag.

I wouldn't recommend buying from r3r-2007. Not only did the seller sell 2 fakes (on November 10) in that 7-piece lot but she also sold the same two fakes on October 20:
