Haven't come across this saddle bag before:

Neither have I. It should be a Crescent Bag #9235 since it's pre-1994 but all the Crescents I've ever seen have a vertical seam on the flap. The Saddle Bag 9988 without the front seam wasn't introduced until late 1996/early 97 but the one in the listing has to be from before 1988. It may have been an early version of the Crescent, or maybe a different size version of it. The seller gives the length as 13 inches but Coach lists it as 10 inches. Of course the measurements always depend on where on the bag it's being measured.

And I've never seen a Springlock used on ANY bag made before 1990. Has anyone else?

I've seen that bag several times minus the springlock. Cameochi, who used to be active in the vintage chat thread, had one. I could have sworn she posted that she had contacted Jed and he told her it was #9210, large saddle bag, but I can't find it anywhere on the forum. Maybe she told me in a PM. That number was used again in 2000 for a completely different style. I think the springlock could have been added aftermarket. I've never seen them prior to 1990, but the creed indicates it is a much earlier bag. You can see there used to be something where the springlock is, maybe velcro or a magnet glued on. Some people don't feel comfortable with an open flap and add a closure.

I have no idea what this is. It does have a "made in China" (no outlet mark) label inside but it's impossible to photograph.

Measurements: 9" w x 4" h and is flat
You can't see it in the pictures but it has lozenge lining.

View attachment 3500920 View attachment 3500924 View attachment 3500932 View attachment 3500935 View attachment 3500935 I recently fell in love with this bag. At the time I didn't realize it was a Coach. I would love to add more gloved tanned leather bags. But I just can't seem to find any information on this. No 345-2906

Some kind of Hippie Flap, maybe, but it's not in my files. Genuine and made before 1988. Maybe someone else has more information.

This is the same bag we were discussing the other day, the one that had the pushlock. I have it in my files as large saddle bag #9210 but I have no confirmation.

It's new to me. The only thing it reminds me of is a pencil or pen case.

I don't know but pencil cases usually have some thickness to them.

I thought it might be a map holder for inside the glove compartment. (But no one uses maps any more, do they?) But the longer measurement doesn't seem long enough for a map. And I don't have one available. to test the fit.

DH still uses maps! Two years ago when we went cross country, we bought a set of all 50 states on ebay. We used them more than you would think. We used Google Maps for navigating once we knew where we were going, but we used the paper maps to figure out where to go. It was easier seeing the big picture on paper.

It looks like a removable case in some luggage item.
