So, I happened across this vintage looking Coach today (actually 3 of them that I scored killer deals on!) Anyhow...This one I can not find ANY info on, now it does look pretty old but there is something on the creed that looks a tad fishy to me as well...There are lines over each number...odd I thought but for the price of $6 i thought it was worth the risk...that being said, can you please authenticate this for me?

creed stamped o49-0142
may be called a station bag?? (similar but not fully the same)

If something is reported as fake and determined to be so (based on experts like you guys/gals here), the auction will be removed. As it always has been in the past. The rules are and have been enforced – perhaps our wording wasn’t clear enough to that effect.

Basically all we need is for the auction to get flagged and which brings it up to the mod teams attention AND ( most importantly) to see a comment on the auction stating that the item is not authentic or fake and the reasons why and the item will be removed. But without comments on a auction from a reliable source our hands are tied.

We on Listia don’t allow Fakes on the site. Please we want to be able to direct users ( both potential bidders and sellers) to this site to further educate and be able to make a informed decision about a potential designer item.

I pray for the sake of the community that you all will change your minds about helping this site. keeping my fingers crossed.

No, it's a Court Bag from the late 1980s and it's genuine.

Please read the Salearea Guides posted at Ebay, at least the Guide about Coach serial numbers, for information about "overstamping" lines:

As long as Listia continues to show that they're serious about keeping fakes off the site, I'll look at them here if someone requests an authentication. But I can't personally check Listia for fakes, I just don't have the time.

Listia members and Mods are welcome to post here at tPF asking about any items that their members have questioned. I hope the fakes will continue to be removed.

Hi, I have a few bags that I bought at various resellers, and I would love to authenticate them.
I think it might take a few posts to put up all the picture.
Thank you!
