Comment: Plastic-looking, hardware is all wrong, phony paper label stuck inside. The duck fob may be the only real thing on it, but those are easily faked too.
I don't recommend asullivan70. Her Dooney is fake as is this Coach:

Item: Authentic VINTAGE Dooney & Bourke Handbag Purse Collector's Piece
Listing #:181683293201
Seller: rosesresale1
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181683293201?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Comment: What I noticed first were the clunky handles. Then the not-quite-right duck emblem. Then the questionable metal duck fob and the weird little tether strap it's hanging on. "Authentic" "collector's piece"?

It's not something a collector wants unless they collect different types of fakes.

It looks like that style of bag doesn't have a hyphen. Here's a listing on Bonz, authentic and sans hyphen:
