Does anyone think they would attempt this? I'm thinking of using this as a rehab for my high school demonstration speech. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-1970s-COACH-BLACK-LEATHER-SADDLE-200-8044/122735735914?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

It's pretty rough and would be a lot of work to rehab; plus in a few pictures it looks like the piping has split, and that is very hard to camouflage. I have rehabbed bags that looked that bad but I usually wasn't thrilled with the final result - although the fact that it is black is helpful, because black hides a lot of flaws. Honestly, I would probably keep looking for a bag in better shape.

Yeah, I'm looking at it closer and see that piping. What about this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 The hangtag is in halves but I can easily repair it or just replace it outright.

That looks like a better prospect to me but I am not an authenticator, and the picture of the creed is blurry, so have it checked out first, good luck!

I believe it is authentic. It's very easy to reglue a hangtag.
