It seems like the words silver and nickel were used interchangeably for a while. The early catalogs call that color Nickel, but I don't have any price tags from that time period showing the color codes although it seems like they used "nickel" in the catalogs and the SV code on the price tags. Technically it's more accurate that way since the metal was usually nickel or nickel plated anyway, but the color description was silver since that was the common description of that color. I don't ever remember seeing a price tag code for Nickel except on newer styles with colors like Antique Nickel or Black Nickel.

Does that make sense? I'm still caffeine-deprived this morning so it might sound kind of muddled.

It makes perfect sense, especially for Coach. There is so little hardware on the cosmetic case that I can't tell if it looks the same as my nickel hardware bags. It might be more shiny like the regular silver hardware. I'm thinking they probably changed the hardware designation to silver somewhere around 2002. I can't find proof of that though since the wayback isn't cooperating.

My cosmetic case came with a little booklet that starts "Coach began more than fifty years ago..." and continues "Today, Coach craftspeople number in the hundreds..."

Good Afternoon everyone. I just purchased a Sheridan Makeup bag and I am wondering if Coach ever gave it a style number or name. Here are the dimensions: 7" long, 5.5" high and 2.25" deep. I've attached a photo so you can see what it looks like. There is no creed inside which I expected. It is lined just like the other Sheridans and has "Coach" stamped on the bottom. Thanks for any info you can share.

Oh, so you are the one who won it! I was hoping no one would see the listing and I'd get it for a steal! Congratulations! I'm sure it had a style number, but I've never seen it in a catalog.

I was hoping to win this little beauty as well but lost track of time. Congrats Cameochi!

What is this, please? The zipper end looks unfinished. It also looks like its been polished.

It's a Brighton bag #9895 from the early 90s. I think the zipper is supposed to look like that. It does look funny, but Sacsmags had one and hers looked the same:

I am hoping someone can identify this bag. The creed is #0835-323. It is 12"L x 7"H x 3"D. Photos are attached. Any info will be greatly appreciated as always.

Isn't that the Oliver bag discussed here? http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/id-coach-item-post-any-coach-item-name-355205-566.html#post26628565

You're welcome! How odd that you both got the same rare bag within a few weeks of each other!

I have noticed that rarer styles tend to come up in twos and threes. It's weird!

And - then there were three :

Must be something to do with the way the planets are lined up!

You're welcome. Forgive my mistake. I knew it was someone who knew something about Coach. For some reason when I see that mannequin, I think of sacsmags!

Thanks, ZSP. It is a great little bag - but very little.

Probably because she used to use one. It's a nice little bag. I think the one I posted has polish on it.
