I'm a Coach newbie so I rely on ebay a lot when researching the older bags. I saw a bag today at a local consignment store that has me puzzled. Creed number came up with no matches no matter how broad my key words were.

I apologize in advance for not providing a photo. I didn't feel comfortable snapping a pic.
It's made of the vintage, glove leather. Black. Long strap for cross body wear, but also has a handle, but the handle's just big enough for your hand, not big enough to carry on the arm. Front flap with brass turnlock. Slip pocket on back.
They have $77 on it. She's in great shape, just didn't know if that was a good price or not. Thank you for any info you can provide on this one.

An all numeric serial number means the bag was made before 1994. It is a unique serial number and doesn't give us any clue as to the style of the bag. If you search ebay or the vintage thread of the reference library on tpf, you might find a picture of a similar bag. Then we can give you more information about the style.I'm a Coach newbie so I rely on ebay a lot when researching the older bags. I saw a bag today at a local consignment store that has me puzzled.

Thank you so much. Figures I would find one not so easily identifiable. :greengrin:
You're welcome. Your description matches a lot of bags. Could it have been a court bag like this one?

Yes, style 4204.
Dakotas were only made in 1991 and 1992 according to the catalogs. If any were made in 1993 they're not shown in the books.
When you're responding to another post please use the Quote feature. If you're commenting on post 6665, maybe you can explain what's gramatically incorrect about it? And where are you seeing "... made OUT of..."?
BTW, proper Anglo-American grammar also requires that proper or corporate names like "Coach" be capitalized.

Unless you've seen every Coach creed ever made for the last 50 years you should avoid making blanket statements about how Coach creeds are worded - or any other statements that encompass ALL Coaches, past and present.

I think she might have been referring to the creed in this post from several days ago:

Well.. hrrmph!!! I hope they were not implying that my fabulously beat-to-heck Becket that we were discussing in that post isn't real :what:
This does give me a great excuse to post updated pix of that bag after stage one of her spa treatment... still more detailing needed, but already I am saying
'Why, hello, Gorgeous!!'

Thanks for clarifying that. It proves how important it is to use the Quote feature.
I still haven't found any evidence that "made OUT of..." is considered grammatically incorrect. "Made of", "made from" and "made out of" seem to be used almost interchangeably. Saying "I doubt coach is as bad at grammar as this tag displays" is implying that Coach bags with that creed wording are fake.
My other comments about capitalizing proper names (nitpicky? Sure, but someone wagging a finger at someone else needs to be careful that they're not making a similar mistake), and about "Rules" that claim to cover all Coaches are still valid.
