Hello,

I have another bag I'd like opinions on:

Item:Vintage COACH Speedy Doctor British Tan Leather Boston Satchel Purse

Seller: timeless-collections!

Ebay item#: 221392629461

Ebay URL: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221392629461?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Comments: I've asked the seller to post a more readable creed photo...possible serial number:J8B-9871 (I think) or I8B...?

Thank you thank you.
I don't see any problems with the bag but the creed has some anomalies. The "I" month code wasn't supposed to be used, but sometimes mistakes were made. However, this plant had been operating for a long time by 1998 and were probably less likely to make this kind of mistake. The creed has an extra dash after "No." and no dash between the numbers of the creed. Again, we see this on some authentic creeds, but the creeds I've seen for this plant don't have these anomalies. So, it is probably authentic, but given the seller's track record, I don't know if I would take a chance.
 
Hi again. I bought this bag off Ebay and I was wondering if you could tell me something about it? The serial number is C06J-10107. The measurements are 7.5" long, 3 wide, & 8" tall. I Googled the style number and not much came up on it just that it was sold at some point a discounters online but did not give info on it. Thanks!:D

It might be ok. The other numbers match the three photos of *8B- creeds in my files, including the details of the underlined "o" in "No" which is just a bit more rounded than usual. The Coach logo at the top is the same too. Maybe someone got confused or just didn't listen to instructions and switched the dashes along with messing up the month code. Pics below.

The problem, of course, is the seller.

It's a genuine Scarf Print Swingpack, from 2006
 
Sorry I missed the modeling pics. :D
Lol....wouldn't want to deny you.....:p

"This is the fifth of seven Coach handbags I'm selling on ebay to help with my daughter's college expenses. My ex-wife is moving away into a much smaller house and she seems to have had a weakness for Coach handbags. But she's done a great thing by offering our college bound daughter the opportunity to gain from her weakness. She gave all her unused Coach bags to my daughter to sell and since I have a high ebay customer/seller rating I'm here to offer you a deal".:graucho:

Thank you! I could not find the name anywhere. It looked so cute on the "model", a divorced dad that was using his Ebay account to sell his ex wife's purses. Claimed she has a weakness for Coach but was nice enough to donate them to her daughter to sell for college expenses lol.

Sorry I missed the modeling pics. :D
I didn't see the listing Shannonmarie referred to but this seller has had some interesting listings with several guys who are good sports but they sure don't look like they enjoy the job.

Omg those made me lol, they look like why are you having me hold this crap??:laugh:
 

It's an authentic suede wave tote.

Thank you, when I looked it up the coloring looked different than that one.
Are you looking at style 1434?

If so, it could be lighting, flash or soiling that might make one bag's colors look different from another.

Here's another. The colors are the same colors but this one appears more vibrant:

This is slightly OT, but the patchwork pattern on the wave bags is slightly different from many other patchwork bags.

Some bags have front and back with identical pattern placement.

On the wave bags, the front and back are mirror images of each other,
