It shouldn't have solid brass hardware, since the style was part of a lightweights line, and Coach purposely didn't use solid brass as that would make it too heavy. Coach mostly stopped using solid brass in the early 80s. Therefore, you shouldn't see solid brass hardware on a bag that doesn't have a NYC creed. The font and spacing of the creed number is wrong. I think the year code is a little too early for the style. The zipper pull is wrong. On the pocket, the pull should be a chain.

Well ok! Haha, thank you for that information. I am glad to know so I don’t sell it to another unsuspecting person. Yes, The zippers do look wrong now you mention it. Thanks again!

Saw this one while browsing eBay. The turnlock has me wondering if maybe it’s a #9170 Shoulder Bag that someone altered... Unless there was a style made like this that I’m unaware of?

I think you're right about it having been modified. If you look at the pictures of the turnlock it looks as if the leather was cut and the hole was just a bit too big, seller says "There is a tiny little slit near the turn lock of the bag..." The turnlock looks like an aftermarket non-Coach piece since it looks like there are shallow indents on the back plate for the prongs. But the strap is the original 9170 style with the guitar-strap contoured ends. So far I can't find any other style that would have those exact details.

I kept looking at it trying to decide if it was fake or not, until I noticed that same slit where the turnlock is. Didn’t think they made a bag like that, but wasn’t sure!
 
Hello. I will be glad for your help. I just bought a Coach from the Sheridan Collection and it's not certain whether it's genuine - it looks completely new))) Here are some photos:

Welcome to the forum! The bag is authentic. It is a Sheridan Durham #4211. Boy, is it cute! I find that smaller vintage bags can be found in new or nearly new condition as they weren't used as much as larger bags.

In the future, please be aware that this thread is for identifying bags that you know are genuine. We have an authentication thread dedicated to authentications here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/ There is no need to resubmit this bag as you now know it is authentic.

ETA: Check out our vintage chat thread to discuss your new Sheridan. I'm sure others would love to see it. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/vintage-coach-photos-chat.857690/page-594#post-32047766

PS @Hyacinth I having been looking at the time stamp on your comments lately and it makes me chuckle. Does the person who replies first get a bonus?? I know how well you are compensated for your efforts!!!

Yep, the winner of each "Posting Derby" gets a $500 Coach gift certificate. The loser gets an autographed picture of Harvey Weinstein. :crybaby:

Anyone want to buy some "celebrity" autographed photos? Cheap?

Ooops - Chadwick Satchel, 9928 probably from 1993
