The first one looks genuine but it's not a Thompson - Thompson's style number is 4151. I don't have any information on this one. Style 9804 is in the middle of the number sequence for the Equestrian line so maybe this is an Equestrian I don't have in my files. Can you turn it 90 degrees and take a picture of the strap buckle on one side? Not super-close, we need to see the buckle and about the last 6 inches of one end of the strap.


Here are photos of the side buckle attachments on either side. Sorry the bag is really flat so I couldn't get it to stand up to take a true sideways shot.

I'm so jealous of your pre-creed bag! Congratulations. My ideal find would be this style in a fun color. I think it was called a Safari bag. It is a Bonnie Cashin design, probably from 1966 - 1968.
Thank you! I agree this isn't the most fun color but i'm still tickled pink to have found it. Now to figure out how to get it back in shape!

Both of these look good.

They both look ok

They both seem ok.

Thank you so much Hyacinth and whateve! I can say with confidence that you both and Beenburned have taught me well thru this forum!
 
I have two this evening that I would like authenticated please.

XL Hampton Bleeker

Comments: The zipper on this is like the zipper on a jacket. It comes completely apart. This is a huge purse!

14" long x 12" tall x 7" wide
 
Here is the other one.

Item: Two tone Pink Coach Wristlet

Link:











Comments: The only indicator that this might be a Coach is the little hang tag. The quality seems to be there to me (but I have been wrong before, soooo....) If this is the real deal would this be Papaya and pink? Is that an uncommon color? It isn't orange enough to be poppy.

9" long x 5 1/4" tall
 
And here are the last two for this morning-- and the most exciting for me. My first pre-creed bag!

Item: Early Coach
Size: 11" long x 8" tall x 3.25" deep with 5" or 5.5" strap drop.
Turn lock closure pockets on both sides, open center compartment with striped fabric lining just on bottom (brass feet prongs poking thru bottom panel). Little black metal plate inside one of the outside pockets.

If this last one is authentic, any idea about a style name or date? Thanks!!!


Is there a pocket on both sides? I want to say Coach Double Pocket Tote but I have to check at home. I am going on what I have listed in my PB account. I will check back in later if I remember. My records at home should have the actual name that I used when I listed the 2 I sold a few years back.

Genuine, but I don't know the name. Probably some version of a Hamptons Leather Tote from 2006

Hi there-- Yes there is a pocket on both sides. Whateve had suggested it might be a Safari Tote. Would love a confirmation. Thank you!

This is authentic. It is a Bonnie clutch from around 2009. Someone on ebay says the color is coral/fuchsia. The style number is probably 42543.
 
Thank you Whateve! I would love a ton of bags in this color!!!
You're welcome! I love the Bonnie bags they made during this time. Here's a picture from their website showing some of them. I have the purple mini frame. I'd love to have them all.

Whateve now that you gave me a style name I found one on eBay. It is a new with tags and it says it is a crossbody. I wish I had the strap for it.

Here is the link for that one.

I have a couple of thin crossbody straps in brown leather I may use with it just to be able to wear it that way.

That turquoise one in the web pictures is to die for IMO. Turquoise if my favorite color. That purple you have would be my second choice. LOVE!



Hyacinth I thanked you earlier but it is not posting when I refresh. I just want to make sure you both know how much I appreciate your help!


Oh, I just realized the crossbody isn't the same style number just the same color. Mine does have the loops on each side for a strap though. I still might do it so I can be hands free.
