Thank you. I will try to get a picture. It looks similar to the city bag, but the flap comes all the way down to the bottom of the bag (like the Patricia bag) but has a turnlock like the City bag. It is rectangular, maybe 10-12 inches across and about 2-3 inches deep. The strap is unique. It is not adjustable (no buckle). It is a double skinny strap just like the current penny's. It is a shoulder length strap. Come to think of it, it is very similar to Penny, just a much larger version.

It sounds like it could be a convertible clutch. Does the creed say "Made in the United States" or Made in New York City"?
The Willis came out in 1993.
The earliest Station Bag I can find is from 1983 although it may have come out in late 1982. It was called a Shoulder Pouch Large and might have been based on an earlier style. Coach apparently discontinued it around 1986 and brought it back in 1987 as the Station Bag.

I have several Coach bags I would like to sell but I put one on E-Bay and they removed it saying that it wasn't real. To be honest, I do not know if they are or not now. Is this where I can get them authenticated? I purchased them from secondhand stores.I've been seeing a bunch of threads recently requesting ID's on some older (and newer) bag styles.
Maybe we could compile all of these here and even make this a reference thread?
If anyone has questions, feel free to post here!
You can get them authenticated in this thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-818914.html
You can't post a link to your own listing. Post pictures, including the creed, and measurements.
I found a cache of one of your listings for a bag with a serial number of 101-59.
The bag was correctly removed as it has an invalid serial number, one commonly seen on fakes but never used by Coach. Although the listing didn't show the creed, I'm betting that the creed shows "made in Korea."
I'm sorry to tell you that it can't be sold but it's also illegal for the second hand store to have sold it. They too are required by law to verify and confirm authenticity of any items before putting them on the sales floor.

We'll need to see more pictures. Personally, I wouldn't recommend buying that style (10124 and 10125) as it's a well-faked bag.
The black leather one number 161042251802 that you recently listed is an obvious fake and Ebay was correct to remove it. There are a BUNCH of warning signs from the hardware to the lopsided front flap to the fact that the creed stamped inside is not only wrong, but the serial number is fake. If you don't understand what details real Coaches are supposed to have, then either you shouldn't buy them for resale or if you do, you should have them authenticated either here at tPF or by a professional authenticating service before you even think of listing them.
The fact that the stamp inside the bag doesn't even say anywhere that it's a Coach bag should have been a warning sign. I can only read the first line but all it says is "This is a genuine leather bag...". It wouldn't surprise me if the rest of the wording was broken incorrect English since that creed is exactly what I'd expect from a Coach ripoff made in Korea.
Not that fakes don't have the Coach name and creed inside because almost all of them do, but this one doesn't even pretend to be a real Coach except for the fake hangtag and anyone can stick one of those on a purse, that doesn't make it a Coach. You need to have those other bags you bought authenticated ASAP. And from now on you need to make sure that wherever you buy items to sell, that they have a full refund policy.

I'd bet my Social Security check that it's fake. The creed stamping is totally wrong for that style line. The inside pocket and inside zipper pull details are wrong too, and so is the hardware especially the zipper pull and the ring that the top clip and leather tab is attached to. The inside pocket isn't even made of the right fabric.
I strongly suggest that she doesn't buy ANY bag in that or a similar style online, almost every single one we've ever seen has been fake and many of the fakes are extremely accurate, much more than this one.
Here's a photo of the next size bag in the same series. The creed patch and inside pocket details should be almost identical between the two styles. The one your sister wants isn't even close.
