What does this mean?

Good evening, Jamie,
Thank you for submitting photographs to Mearto for appraisal.
Vintage handbags are one of the hottest areas of the market and Dior is a name that stands the test of time. Based on the information and photographs you've provided, your red alligator shoulder bag is similar to several that have sold in excess of $4,000; however, the worn condition of yours negatively impacts the value.
I hope this information is useful to you. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you for using Mearto.

Thank you. Can you tell me approximately the manufacture date or what collection or line it’s from?

Hi Jamie,
I have not found it among my Dior references, which only suggests that it was not one of their more popular or iconic lines. I am fairly confident that it is from the late 60s/early 70s, based on stylistic elements.

Do you have a similar item and want to know how much it’s worth?
