Good evening all!
Was wondering if you could authenticate this Craigslist ad...looks a bit off to me, the C is weird... And not symmetrical...trying to get buyer to send a better pic of the creed as well.

Anyhow here is the link, not sure what the bag is called...

It's called "Cheap Horrible Fake". Please report it as "Prohibited" to Craigslist.

The crooks didn't even bother to use a serial number.

Hyacinth,

I've noticed that in my vintage bags that still have paperwork with them, several references have been made on the registration cards to a book called "The Factory" that you could order when you registered your bag.

The card reads:

"Over 100 striking photographs taken in the Coach Factory have been published in a beautiful 76-page library edition entitled "THE FACTORY". If you enclose $2.00 with your Registration Form, we will be happy to send you a copy of this handsome book."

Do you have a copy of "The Factory" / have you ever seen it? :smile1:

I'm not Hyacinth but I do have the book.

It may still be available from various book sellers.

The title is: The Factory

The Carriage Embossing & Signature Looks Fine and so the rest, but I suggest you to wait for the real experts on this Forum.

Thank you very much. It is just so clean and looks untouched. Weird, I know. Everyone should get a bag that is so perfect.

I noticed just a little misalignment of the fabric at the top left. The other bags I see on the bay have silver hardware and this one has brass. Does that just vary with date? I need to find the exact same numbers to compare.

N/M I found a brass trimmed one. I feel better now.

A lot of those fakes are around here. I just clicked "Prohibited" on Craigslist.

I do too. Try Amazon, sometimes the used book sellers will have a copy.

Do an Ebay search. Bags made for the Outlet like yours orn for a specific retailer may have different hardware.

Different bags.

Thanks for all your help ladies. So what I have is a Companion Bag and all those listed on eBay are basically Companion Flaps?

Well, since you seem to know more than we do about the style number, maybe you can post a photo of style # 3722 so we can add it to our files?

We'll be waiting eagerly for that photo.

I had 2 "Zipper Companions" as the one in the provided picture with the number style 3722. Please correct me if I have the wrong style name.
