Hi All,



I came across this Bleeker bag on a local auction site. I don't feel comfortable posting the link (as it will include my location and the seller's address), so I'm going to add the information here:



Seller's posting:

Selling my Coach messenger bag. I just no longer use it. Was 450 new and still in great condition. Just needs repairs on one of the straps and its good to go. A beautiful bag for men and women. only asking 130 obo because it needs reapirs. (*all mistakes are their own.)

I'm still waiting for a photo of the entire bag and the "repair" that needs to be done...but just wondering if it's authentic?



Thanks in advance!

It is a Camden Leather Messenger Bag, I believe. I would buy a new one rather than dealing with someone else's issue. BIN on eBay is around $200. Made for factory.

I agree that the photos come from eBay. Buy new. Not someone else's problems and horrors.

The only style that could be is a City Bag, and from no earlier than 1987 since that's when it was introduced, in fact since it's stamped for NYC it could only be from 1987 or maybe early 1988. Either the factory let one slip through without a serial number, or there's something fishy about the bag or the photos. Just because the seller SAYS it's older doesn't make it so. It probably is genuine but I wouldn't want to try and re-sell it without a serial number.

Thanks, exactly what I was thinking.

Now I'm wondering how many NYC bags we've seen without serial numbers are just mistakes rather than being really old.

Probably not that many, that's the first one I've noticed. The creed wording itself and whether or not it has the little R in the circle for Registered can give a rough idea of when the bag was made. And Quality Control probably would have rejected most bags if they didn't have serial numbers, but for some reason they didn't catch this one.

That's not what 9790 should look like and the serial number font/spacing is incorrect for the rarely seen T plant.

Report away!
