Looks like a 1960s bag (I
the knots) Please leave all your beautiful pics up so that people in future can learn from them, all 3 are quite rare bags
Thanks Papertiger! Last year I bought her a vintage Gucci in navy leather with a gold and lapis closure. I wish I had taken pictures of it to add to this thread. If I can get some I will post
Please do so I can compare, I may have the non-identical twin to that one, mine is a black patent, with gold and lapis hw
Can anyone authenticate and tell me approximate age of this Gucci Vintage tote? Can't seem to get pics to load because I'm a new user I guess but here are links to the pics:

I've bought 4 vintage Gucci bags off eBay. All are in excellent condition, no damage and nice enough to use without having to refurbish. That said, I've had to wade through a lot of bags in bad condition or of questionable authenticity. I don't recall the exact price of each but lowest has been $75 and highest $250

Will do. My friend is sending me pics of the bag , along with some other bags so they can be added to this thread. Once I get them I'll add each bag in separate posts , along with some key words of description to help future users search

That's a shame, I almost missed your post. The bag is from the 1980s and quite an early example of the GAC range
Do they look like the lizard one below?
If so they'll both be pre-'95/6 when TF was promoted as Creative Director. The reintroduction of these older models (in this case 1950s) and the 1990s version of the 1940s BTHs were made under very strict conditions to bring the exclusivity/desirability and pre-1970s expansion quality back to Gucci.

Here is my latest vintage find. The bag is in exceptional condition, the brass hardware is shiny and virtually scratch free. The bright red leather lining inside and inside back pocket is pristine. The outside leather is a very dark navy and has such little sign of wear that I wonder if this bag was ever used? The only issue is it looks to have been stored poorly and the bottom of the bag has a crumpled look. I tried to capture this in the last pic I will attach. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on possibly reshaping the bottom of the bag? Not sure if one of those plastic base shapers would help but this is a small bag and not sure if they make them in a 9x3 inch size. I don't mind sending this a leather shop or buying something to fix it etc as I only paid $100 for the bag. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
