It's not a Legacy bag of any kind, since it's probably from the late 1980s and AFAIK Coach didn't start calling a few of their styles "Legacy" until the "name" Legacies of the mid-1990s. This one was just called a Pocket Bag, style 9875.

Thanks again. Learn something new each day. I would have though the dinky was earlier than mid to late 90's. Who knew?
Thanks once again Hyacinth. You're the best!
I'm most concerned with Navy Manor bag I posted. The creed has me concerned. When you have time can you take a quick look at that one? page #54. Thus far my batting average has been pretty good.....and I'm never that lucky

Yes, it means that what I can see makes me think it's probably authentic. there are very few bags we can be absolutely certain about.

I'm not sure about this one. The J8*- serial prefix has been used in both genuiine and fake bags and some of the fakes are very accurate except for very small details.
The picture makes it look as if the creed stamp might be off-center? And the H plant code has been used for at least 2 different plants but I don't have any verified information about which plants used it during certain years. All I can say about that bag is that it's probably genuine based on what I can see in the photos but I'm not 100 percent sure.

Both seem to be genuine.
There aren't enough photos. We need to see clear readable close-ups of the creed and serial number and also of the Carriage emblem on the front. No one should ever bid on or buy from a seller who doesn't post creed photos.
Thanks! I'm still on the fence about this bag, but I'll ask for pictures if I do decide to bid.
