I just received a vintage Boston that I won on Ebay. I believe it is from the GAC collection. It is in great condition and comes with a detachable long strap as well.

I just wanted to say that the coated canvas on this bag is phenomenal. It is thick and durable. I have a Joy Boston from a few seasons ago and the vintage GAC Boston's coated canvas blows the Joy Boston away. My Joy Boston is unlined and the vintage Boston is lined in leather.

I think I'm going to look for more vintage Gucci. I love my new Gucci!!

The only thing that bothers me is the nylon/plastic zipper but not enough to put me off the bag.

Quick question, do either of these have the potential to be authentic? Terrible photos I know, but I have searched high and low for a vintage Gucci bag that looks similar to no avail. The seller considers then replica's, but she has another bag I know for certain is authentic and perhaps she is just not familiar with vintage. Thank you!

On the few occasions when I've visited auction sites there always seem to be a few 14 karat gold pieces for sale

WARNING

Gucci have NEVER made 14 Karat pieces.

All Gucci gold is 18 Karat

If a gold piece is described as 'vintage' be even more careful, Gucci very rarely made gold pieces pre-1990 with only 2 notable exceptions

Very unusual and such a lovely colour. I can't authenticate on this thread so you'll have to read between the lines of this post ;) :ninja:

Let me do some research and get back to you with the date (I hope you are not in a hurry because life is crazy busy for next couple of weeks).

I found this vintage gucci in a consignment shop for $45 (not on sale!), right next to a handful of 1980s guccis for over $200. I know the 2 digit gold number inside places it between 1950-1970 roughly, and the Gucci zipper pull probably puts it around 1960+ (if original), but I've seen similar leather bags dated around 1955. I'm trying to read the old control card, and it may reference 1958 (third set if numbers, I know 56 is the model). Can anyone help me pinpoint the year better than this? Lol

None of the hardware says Gucci or has any emblem, the leather is stunning, and it's in what I would consider near mint condition.

Sorry, I missed you the first time around, happily I caught your post on the Gucci Chat thread.

As I said, your beautiful bag is roughly from 1968 and the gold hardware based on a fine perfume bottle.
