Does anyone know the name of bag style #9974? I have one with serial #h5c-9974. Here is a link to an auction (not mine) with the identical bag.

The Gracie (4413) is a little bit smaller than the Biltmore. Check out this thread:

Thank you! I have always heard the 4413 called the small Gracie and 4417 called the regular Gracie. I'm sure it is one of those things that just got perpetuated - once one person started calling it Gracie, everyone else copied. I think I assumed it was a Gracie because that is what the seller called it. It seems even more elegant now that I know it is a Biltmore.
Style 9974 is the "Multi Zip". The seller in the link doesn't show a clear creed photo but the details of the bag look OK.
H5C would be a bag made in 1995.
You're welcome! Yeah, I've seen it listed on eBay as Gracie Biltmore. I have a Biltmore, too.
Calling on the most experienced TPFer.....I have asked before to no avail for this bag to be identified. It has to be from the late 70's early 80's so I can't understand why no one knows what this bag is. I recently sent the request to Coach and am awaiting to hear back. I also ran across it in a picture on Google of the archives. Here it is:
The first picture is of the tan large bag, what I call a legacy and is on the 3rd shelf to the far right - Picture 1
I also own the same type of leather tote pictured, same line, you can tell, same baseball leather - My avatar
And then I also own the black XL bag like the tan one pictured
Does anyone know the name of these bags and when they came out? Can anyone help me

No, the bags are from the 70's and 80's so no creed. I did call Coach today and they did confirm it's a legacy....I guess I'll just go with that.
Maybe from the early 70s? Coach started using creeds in the mid to late 70s: http://reviews.ebay.com/Coach-Serial-Numbers-the-Basic-Facts?ugid=10000000034886433
You might try creating a thread in the forum asking for help identifying a bag. I did that for a bag that mystified all the experts and I got the answer and lots of info very quickly! See the link below:

Good luck!
They do look similar to the Legacy satchels from the 90's. Unless someone has a catalog from that era, I don't think you will ever find out. It's a shame you didn't get more help from Coach.

I don't know them, but I strongly suggest that you post measurements along with more photos including front, back and sides plus any areas on the inside with pockets, stamps or tags.
