Hi, I found this at an estate sale and am curious to know if it is authentic and if so, what vintage. Thanks in advance for your help!View attachment 4824854View attachment 4824855View attachment 4824857

It's authentic and depending on measurements is either 702 or 703 vintage carrier.

This shows measurements of 703 square carrier: https://www.horsekeeping.com/Dooney/CARRIER/1243--carrier-B703-vintage-square-black-cedar.htm

And 702 carrier: https://www.horsekeeping.com/Dooney/CARRIER/701-R702-carrier-vintage-rougebt.htm

It's from the 1990s.
 
Both of these bags are from my collection, but they are different in their details despite being the same style, the Florentine mail bag in chestnut and natural.
The natural feels like Florentine leather, but is missing the little leather tab on one of the side slip pockets and has 1 extra number on the tag. The hardware, strap, and size are identical, to my eye.
I would appreciate any help as I am not familiar with Dooney’s retired styles. Not sure if these are both counterfeit or if they are both ok? Thank you so much for your help!

(The first attached images are of the natural and the image of the tag with the extra digit belongs to the natural)

Thank you for any help authenticating.
Definitely authentic but I don't think it's as old as 80s. It's probably from the 90s and it's possible that the tag was cut out. Usually there are some threads you might see as remnants of the red, white and blue label but I'm not seeing them.
