I got these two Coach bags from a friend of mine and I am in no way an expert at knowing styles or anything so I was hoping someone could help. 
This is the first bag, the style on the inside says H2K-6045
The second bag is smaller and doesnt have an inscription inside
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me!!

I think the first one is a Medium Signature Zoe Hobo from 2002. I don't know the second one, sorry.
BTW, the Zoe Hobo should be one of the bags that disproves the nonsense that "all Coaches have YKK zippers". Usually that style will have a RISI zipper, at least the one I owned did. The inside pocket will be YKK but the top zipper is usually a different brand.
This is a cross body bag. The creed is #018-4127. Made in the USA. It's got a bucket look to it until you snap it closed, and then it looks like a binocular case shape, except it would have to be some pretty big binoculars. It's about 11" wide, and opened is abouot 10" High, and 4.5 " deep. The snap closure is really different than anything I've seen on my other vintage things. I can post more photos if need be. TIA....

The bag looks authentic to me. It could be the "Binocular Bag", but I am not sure since I have a bunch of ?????'s after the style number (9853) and my photo. Unfortunately I don't have the measurements either. (I think that's called a Springlock Closure).
In other words - I'm NO help at all.
Wait for Hyacinth to comment.

LOL..thanks anyway. I don't see this style much online anywhere. When I saw it in a store and I knew by the bottom piping around it that it had to be a Coach, and it was, but otherwise, so different than other stuff I'd seen.
Oh, now here's one on *bay http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-VINTAGE-B...348?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item5ae0ac528c So I guess it is a binocular Spectator bag? Other photos show tan trim but mine is a solid black.

I also read in the ebay description I just found, that the style # is now 9853, but many were made before 1994 so the older creed # style applies to some. And I also just realized Spectator refers to the contrasting dual leather colors so the solid colored ones shouldn't be called spectator I don't think.
I agree with DemRam, it's a 9853 Binocular Bag from around 1990. You may be measuring it differently than Coach since they only list it as 9 1/2 by 8 1/2 by 4 inches but that's measuring with the top closed, and possibly across the bottom of the bag instead of the top.
DemRam, here's a page from the 1990 Winter Preview catalog if you want to save a copy:

The Spectators are the ones with contrasting tan piping. They also use different style numbers.
Hyacinth,
Thanks for the catalog pictures. I can finally remove the ????????? from my list for style 9853.
Oh thank you. Yeah I measured it at the widest point at the top with it open. I will save that to my images folder.
I purchased this clear Coach (Tattoo Magazine Tote #13662) in Jan 2010. I don't know if there are any still available out there, but thought I would post in case you wanted to keep an eye out for one. HTH
