    Hi folks! I'm hoping some of you who are better at identifying fur will be able to help me out with this circa 1950s fur wrap. It looks to me like it may have been sheared, which is probably why I am confused by it! :) Also, it appears that it may be somewhat curly, when not sheared...Could it be lamb? There is a bit of color variation that appears to be natural. Any thoughts/help would be much appreciated!

    Yours does look like lamb, to me anyway. :)

    The brown is sheered caracul. I had 2 1930s coats and scarves very similar.

    I cannot find any example online since most are labeled incorrectly.
    Mine were a tan peach color and had the original tags.
