Fur Identification on vintage hat

[Auntie Establishment]

Hi,

I cannot pin down the type of fur on this hat. Driving me nuts! I've been over the resource page 3 times. And perused the internet over 2 days. Ugh. I need some help.

The fur is very lightweight. Light brown almost reddish very soft downy under coat. Darker brown shiny guard hairs. The fur is less than an inch long. Extremely soft.

Looks like possum from New Zealand or Australia.

Thank you. I posted this on instagram, too, and that was the consensus!

Thank you so much! That is the consensus then. I'm getting an education!

That's quite the fuzzy little fur! I've learned something too, could never have guessed this one!
