Anchors are fun. I remember discovering them. They are also on the lobster claw spring clasp styles too.
I did not expect the piping to come back anywhere as much as it did on my Letter Brief. I was very generous with the CPR, to where I took off a little excess collecting here and there, 4 apps.
I had bags where I feel it did not come back as well. Maybe I was not as generous with the CPR . . .
Yes, get going on that Willis! I want to be amazed with the results!!Anchors are fun. I remember discovering them. They are also on the lobster claw spring clasp styles too.

Eta reminds me, I have to fish out a navy Willis, see if I can get it moving . . .

They were a manufacturer’s marking from a brass hardware supplier Coach used. Someone here did the research. Let me see if I can find the post.
Thank you very much for the link, very interesting history and I enjoyed reading it very much. Anyway, a lazy Saturday night without any NHL hockey games to watch, sigh..
I could use any advice you have for dealing with a very dry bag. This little slim flap saddlebag ( now authenticated) is bone dry even after a dunking and several coats of CPR. It smelled strongly of mothballs when I received it and I’m thinking that might have something to do with the dryness. I’m in love with the shape and light color, but it feels almost papery to the touch. I’ve seen slight improvement as I’ve CPR’d, but nothing like like I’ve gotten used to with other bags. It is a Costa Rican if that helps.
Lol I had a bag drip drying outside and forgot about it and went to bed.
I didn't remember till next morning. Mine didn't dry out as it rained and I found my bag still damp. 
Since noone can go do anything this weekend, who's gunna work on that rehab pile!
If the antique white doesn’t work for your bag (it has a slightly pinkish tone), there is another Folkart colour I have used a lot. If DH and I manage to get home from Spain after a month’s holiday this Thursday (the country is on pretty much of a lockdown) I’ll get that colour name to you.I don’t have a rehab pile but did finally manage to order some paint (folkart vintage white per Ebkbay’s recommendation) for my beige Devon. So I’m looking forward to starting that! If that works maybe there will be another beige bag in my future. Fingers crossed.
I started on my last purchase before my (for real this time) banSince noone can go do anything this weekend, who's gunna work on that rehab pile!
It’s a Costa Rican Black Patricia’s Legacy. Also finishing up a burgundy NYC Saddle Pouch Medium which has torn piping. My first time trying to rehab torn piping! Think I need to put down another layer of glue before covering with 3D paint. I should be able to post the end results sometime this coming week.
