I figure it out. It was buffalo :smile:
Neat! I presumed it was Buffalo, which is why I asked for a picure of the bag's lining (since Buffalo bags are lined in Buffalo ;)). As for the colour, it's probably Navy or Bleu Marine. Very hard to say definitively since Buffalo bags are rare as it is, and they are exponentially rarer in any shade of blue. If you're still interested, a closer picture of the stitching and a picture of the interior lining and back pocket should help to confirm.

Hello, I'm curious if anyone knows what year this may be from? I was told the 50s.
Thank you!
Hi there! Unfortunately, it would be impossible to determine the exact year of this bag without more pictures. It would be helpful if you at least provided clear pictures of the following: hardware on both sangles, the reverse sides of both sangles, the interior lining, the interior back pocket, stitching along the front of the bag, the full bag (preferably front view), and a picture of the bottom of the bag. Cheers.:flowers:

Thank you! I will send those once I have it in hand :) I wasn't sure when the stamp may have been used, so looking for both the approximate year of the bag (which I will provide more photos for) but also if someone knows if this stamp was used during a certain time period for H. Thank you again!

Very welcome! I would refer to this thread for a very general idea of production era, but please take it with a grain of salt. Standardisation at Hermès is more of a recent phenomenon, so it is not uncommon to see details “indicative” of certain eras on items from completely different eras. This is why we like to have full and complete pictures to provide you with the most accurate information.
