OK, here she is!
Far better as far as the leather itself, than in the photos. Handles are perfect.

The stains are on the bottom and sides!
And, well, they’re not ink. I have no idea what they could be… almost feel like tar. They are on the surface, and there is a shine to the substance.
Also, there is another spot the pics didn’t reveal.
Front and back, however, are fabulous.

Beautiful! Congratulations, a very happy surprise! :tup:
 
Since everyone in this Bal forum is so helpful and seems to treasure hunt on TRR, I have a dumb question. After many years of being content with my Bal collection, I am thinking about casually looking for the few that have been elusive. After buying the First Look membership, does my search results for any saved searches just auto reflect the fact that I have First Look? Thanks in advance!
Hmmm, I'm afraid I don't know, anyone else? EDIT: I see @Conni618 had already answered!
 
Any ideas why Corey's info section is down? @RealDealCollection's articles on early Bal bags are such a wealth of knowledge and I was just going to admire the bags again, but the pages are showing a 404... :flowers:

I know they recently did a website migration to one supported by Shopify. If you notice, the account log in section is missing also. Not sure if they'll be able to get the info and account sections back up - like you, I really hope so.
