Wha? It's not a "TRIAL Bag"?

Aw, you got to use the sign!
Who would have thought it would happen this quickly?Aw, you got to use the sign!
Could someone please authenticate this Coach Leatherware bag?
It's been in my collection since 2006 from Goodwill.
Approx. 7.5"w X 6"h X 2.5"d Strap drop 23"
Is it a Chrystie Bag #9892? From what year?
As always, Thanks in advance!
The bag in the listing looks authentic. I have the same bag from the same era in green. The inside of the front pocket and the inside of the zipped pocket don't have the same suede feel of the inside of the bag. The leather feels thick and soft with the exception of the base. The bag in the listing appears to have the same thick leather that my bag does. It was made between 1998 and 1993 so it is more than a few years old but if it wasn't used much and stored properly, there is no reason it couldn't be in great shape. Mine is.
Thank you very much Hyacinth and whateve!
Last night I applied Leather CPR twice to half of the back of the bag. It soaked it up and this morning the area felt more pliable on the surface; the suede side was still stiff. Likely the bag dried out while in storage. I'm looking forward to conditioning the leather to bring it back to a thick, soft condition!
Both look ok. 4145 is a Soho Mini Bucket and the other is an Ergo Mini Zip.
