Authentic Stewardess bag?

Hello, I found this bag on eBay and would love some knowledgeable opinions on whether it is authentic. I am a little concerned because the creed is difficult to read in places - could this indicate a fake?

Item: Vintage Coach Stewardess Handbag

Listing number: 130880137900

Seller: billybblue

Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130880137900?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649. 

Comments: The auction is ending today, so any thoughts you have before then would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time, and for helping out a new user!

About the wear - this one was made sometime in the mid-1980s so there's going to be wear on the creed and other areas if it was used often. Things like jewelry and even fingernails can wear down leather over the years.

I have never seen a 2004 bag with a K plant code. I think I have only seen B, C and D for that year. I wonder where the K plant was located.

See what Hyacinth or Demram have to say.

Aloha Hyacinth,

Your probably wondering, "why the heck" am I only replying to you now!! I apologize - I obviously got seriously sidetracked. Lol! It's been so long, I spent the last twenty minutes trying to remember my username/password for the site. :giggles:

Thank you so much for your very detailed response to my question. I truly appreciate your knowledge and advice and will be updating my listings when I can (I've got limits now because of that bag) and making changes accordingly. Anything to help make things easier for customers and it does make sense - I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.

I do have the "Fake Serial Numbers" list on my computer favorites. I use it and refer to it often. I can't afford to get burned again.

I will try to spend more time here, checking in and gaining more knowledge. I did work in retail selling Coach bags for over 15 years but I don't have nearly the knowledge that you have - I love reading your posts - they're the best!

Anyways, thanks so much again for everything and so sorry for the late response.

Aloha,
Lauren :smile1:
