    Got this coat from my grandmother. I beleive that it is real fur because it weights a lot and I can see that it is quality. When I burned a few hairs, it smelled like real burnt hear. The sleeves are a bit short. The coat unfortunatly has no label ( 14962597_1167620323318850_6599748619055237462_n.jpg 14963228_1167620229985526_7187897250429248192_n.jpg 15036559_1167620296652186_4396683556718053086_n.jpg 15055721_1167620186652197_8065727687326992148_n.jpg 14962597_1167620323318850_6599748619055237462_n.jpg 14963228_1167620229985526_7187897250429248192_n.jpg 15036559_1167620296652186_4396683556718053086_n.jpg 15055721_1167620186652197_8065727687326992148_n.jpg 14962597_1167620323318850_6599748619055237462_n.jpg 14963228_1167620229985526_7187897250429248192_n.jpg 15036559_1167620296652186_4396683556718053086_n.jpg 15055721_1167620186652197_8065727687326992148_n.jpg 14962597_1167620323318850_6599748619055237462_n.jpg 14963228_1167620229985526_7187897250429248192_n.jpg 15036559_1167620296652186_4396683556718053086_n.jpg 15055721_1167620186652197_8065727687326992148_n.jpg 15055721_1167620186652197_8065727687326992148_n.jpg 15036559_1167620296652186_4396683556718053086_n.jpg anymore).
    If someone could help me identify the type of fur, and eventually give me a price chek, I would apprieciate it.
    Thanks in avance!

    Looks like classic mink to me! You can wait and see what some of the other members say, too. The sleeves were meant to be short so your pretty long gloves and bracelet shows!

    Please don't burn any more of it! :hysterical:

    Value depends a lot on style and condition of the pelts. If it fur sheds out of the pelts, the skins may have dried out and this renders it valueless for sale, essentially, although you can still wear it yourself until it rips. If it was stored properly (not in plastic and in a consistently cool place), it could be in great shape and someone will love to have it. It's a cute style! (Nice buttons, too)
