Does anyone know anything about this Frederick Loeser @ Co. cape? I think it is from the 40s. When I look him up, most things are pix of his things in the Metropolitan. Am curious if this is a true collector piece.

I had never heard of Frederick Loeser & Co., but it turns out that that department store's Garden City branch only existed between 1937 and 1950 (when it was bought out by Abraham and Strauss), so I think its pretty safe to say 1940s, considering it wasn't around much more than that decade.

Well there are quite a few things from this dept store in the Metropolitan Museum which is why I was wondering how collectible it was.
