Could use some help identifying (and dating?) this British Tan Briefcase, in my possession. It's in lovely shape (my little camera doesn't do it justice), looks darned close to new IRL, so I was surprised to see it had the old style number on the creed when I looked inside. (and has its original registration card - filled out but never sent in :)
I'm not familiar with the style at all, has an interesting push type latch that I almost couldn't figure out how to open.

Thanks in advance --

All 3 look like nice, older Coach bags, based on the registration numbers and being made in the United States. I've seen #3 called an Oliver Bag, #9902. I have one in British Tan, but have not had it authenticated yet. Don't recognize the others.

Why not post on the AT thread - you'll likely get all the info you want and you'll know they're real! Hope this helped.

Um, yes, I know they are authentic, I was asking for ID, thus why I posted in the Identify thread.

1- Swinger, #4040 from the Lightweight line, approx 1990

2- maybe a Compartment Bag, need more photos

3- Oliver Bag

BTW, it helps to post more than 1 photo of each, often we need to see front, under-flap and back pockets and an "ad-appropriate" angle so we can find it in our files or catalogs.

Thanks again Hyacinth, sorry about that..:shame:
Do any of the pix from the photobucket link I gave http://photobucket.com/3bagz help? Was having mega Comcastivity issues and my TPF uploads kept timing out, so put some of the addl pix there.
If not will post some more of that one as soon as I am back at the ranch.

Thanks, these should be enough. Definitely a Compartment Bag, style 9850. Date would be roughly around 1989-1991.
