It appears to be a post pouch #9906 from around 1993. Please remember that for bags that have all-numeric serial numbers, we usually need measurements in order to ID correctly. I'm assuming this bag is about 8 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches. Very cute bag and fairly rare since they didn't make it very long.
OK here is a challenge. I have requested additional pictures of this bag but while waiting for shopgoodwill to respond, does anyone want to take a stab at identifying this bag? Here are the clues:
1. Serial number format is xxx-xxxx
2. Zip closure
3. Two inside pockets, one with zipper
4. Slip pockets on both outside walls
5. Buckle somewhere in the middle of the strap
6. Leather-lined inside bottom
7. Dimensions reported as 12" x 9" x 2.5"

My guess is a Brighton bag #9895. Compare it to this one and see if you think I'm right: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-LARGE-...904788?hash=item1c6bc126d4:g:GJwAAOSwd0BV47kd
By George, I think you've got it! I wondered what that little stitched square piece visible in the side pocket was for. Now I see it's the tab on the Brighton. Thank you!
Hi and welcome to the purse forum. This isn't an authentication thread. For future authentications, post here: http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/
There is no need to post pictures if there is a listing online with viewable pictures. You're right, it is a station bag and it is authentic.
I just acquired two vintage Coach bags. Any information about them would be appreciated. The red one is about 8" x 8" x 2". It has a full flap front with a twist lock. The strap is rolled. The creed says made in NY. The 2nd bag is black. I would describe it as a saddle bag. The strap is about 1" wide and buckles to the bag. The bag itself is about 9" x 7" x 5". And one more question. As you can see in the first photo of the red bag, the front flap curls a bit. Do you have any suggestion on how I can flatten this? Thanks so much.

Welcome to the Forum! Your red bag is a Compact Pouch, Style #9620, probably made between the late 1970s and the late 1980s. For the curling flap corner, I would first try laying it out flat and pressing it under some heavy books for a few days. The bag can also be washed and reshaped; check the Coach Rehab and Rescue thread for advice. http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

The black bag is a Janice's Legacy made in 1995. For both these bags, I second the recommendation to visit the rehab club. Most of us get very good results from washing and conditioning these bags.
There should be a tiny label sewn inside the pocket that has the number on it. It might be translucent. I remember this is a style made for Factory about a year ago. I can't remember the name at the moment.
