WOw this no makes a me think...because I purchased a vintage royal blue, velvet evening bag with gold chain and gold G's markings on the front closure area. Without thinking that it can possibly be Gucci, I bought it because it was Gorgeous and like new condition. But inside it marked Flora on the Tag. Not sure what it is, there are no serial # or any other markings. I will look for it and post a pic...and maybe someone can help me figure out if its a goodie!!

Bumping this thread...does anyone have any information on this purse? Bought it today for a great price...only problem is that it reeks of cigarette smoke. I didn't notice it in the store, only when I got home. Any tips on getting the smell out? I febreezed it and an airing it out.

^ That's OK, we don't need to see pics for the question

A tied cloth bag of dry rice or similar should draw the odour in, even (unused) blotting paper. Leaving it open to air will also help particularly left outside (on a dry of course). Some people used to put talcum powder inside, leave and then vacuum but this might also dry out the bag.

It WILL take a while and it may never go completely but it will certainly become less noticeable

Thank you! I'll try that out. Do you have any idea how old this purse is?

Hello fellow vintage Gucci collectors! I recently bought two vintage bags through auction (not eBay) and I was wondering if I could get a little more information about them. The first one in brown is, I believe, a Gucci Kelly in boar or pig skin (??), but I have no idea about the date. It is stamped 000.23.0258. The second in navy blue appears to be box calf, stamped 001.110.1469. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey guys, just bought a vintage Gucci (first ever branded buy) as my mum's birthday present. I'm pretty clueless about anything branded and I thought that this can't be a bad buy, even if it's not Gucci it says crocodile leather so hope it's not fake on both accounts.

Here are the photos: http://app4.sellersourcebook.com/me...g_0060_1386500818.jpg~img_0061_1386500824.jpg

Any idea which period it is from? The auction says late 60's early 70's but a bit more exact would be good. Also find it a bit strange that the only place it says Gucci is the gold Gucci word on the inside, but nothing like 'Italy' or 'made in Italy' or whatever. No model/serial number. In which period are all these features common (Gucci only stamp, no serial/model no, crocodile leather)?

Auctioneers can't be experts at everything I guess.

It's from the 1950s and it just says 'Gucci' because although was made after Guccio Gucci died (bag would be marked G.Gucci before) it was before Gucci went 'international' and all boutiques would have still been in Italy, hence no need to say 'made in'.

Gucci does NOT usually say real crocodile anywhere (can't see it on photos) but of course it IS real croc. The point is, Gucci don't don't do faux/stamped/embossed croc.

It would have cost a small fortune new, look after it. Your mother will be thrilled I'm sure
