No, "F" is the 6th letter of the alphabet, thus F = June (A = January)
05 = 2005
S = factory code

Yes, thank you! that makes much more sense then my train of thought.

None of these can be verified as authentic without photos of the creed stamp. The following are JUST names of the styles.
First photo - tan could be a Chrystie Bag, black one looks like a Winnie Bag
Second photo could be a Soho Small Flap
Third photo looks like: lighter tan - no idea - maybe a Plaza Bag, darker tan - possible Willis, dark brown - Maybe a Taft - there shouldn't be any letters after the number, please post a clear photo of the creed stamp.
BOTH these styles were highly faked - we need to see more photos posted at the Authenticate This Coach thread
Again, this is NOT any kind of authenticity verification. Please have them authenticated before listing.
As for interesting facts, you might try searching the Ebay listings for the same bags. That's how most of us start our research.
Hi Hyacinth - which two bags were you referring to above when you wrote that both styles were highly faked?
Thanks! I love learning about vintage coach.
