Ouch! That makes me sad. IMO the seller is asking too much considering the horrible condition.

If it wasn't for that fact that I already have an abundance of vintage, including a BT Plaza I am on the fence about with a stain, and that I lean toward a flap style opening, I could almost think about it for the starting bid plus shipping. Just to see.

I like Baxter a bit better than my Plaza bag. The wide base gives you more interior space.

Yuck, thought it was covered in serious mould but the indoor photograph doesn't show any? So weird:confused1:. Maybe dust?

I'm not seeing any mold. Just scratches and a big old hole.

I thought that was the sun shining on the bag.

ETA: That's not what mold usually looks like on leather.
It's hard to see but mold is usually little black dots. If it is there long enough, the spots start to indent, like on this bag.View attachment 5145943

Oh ok, thanks for the explanation. I had a few fluffy white spots on my taupe casino and it smelled awful, like damp and mildewy, until I coated it in vinegar for an hour and then dunked. Thats why I thought mould was white :lol::hrmm:

Did you keep that indented bag?

No. I sold it. Even with all the mold damage, the buyer was happy. It was too small for me at the time. Maybe when the mold is new, it looks white and fluffy like mold on bread.
