Four gold tone metal feet underneath, a padlock, a key fob and 2 set of keys. A 'Must-Have' RARE collectible vintage HERMÈS 28 kelly racing green bag for your wardrobe collection! The story behind: Did you know that the Kelly 28 is one of the most sought-after size in the Hermès Kelly bag collection. The Kelly 28 is very practical for everyday use. The Kelly 28 is particularly versatile and can transition from day to evenings. HERMÈS stamp marking: Date & Code: Hermès introduced this marking in the mid-1940s. Vintage Hermès Kelly bags, particularly those from before 1980, often don't include "Made in France" on their front flap stamp. This is because the "Made in France" indication was added to the stamped details later on in the 1980. Every bag produced after the mid-1940s has this unique marking, which allows you to place it in time. From 1945 to 1970: the years are represented by a simple, shapeless letter and with HERMES PARIS on one line. From 1971 to 1996: the letters are enclosed in a circle...]]> HERMÈS 1972 Vintage Kelly 28 Box Calf Leather Dark Green British Racing Green GHW
