Help dating & identifying the type of fur

[peonydaze]

Hello everyone! I just got this vintage fur hand muff yesterday and I think it's from the 40's but not 100% sure. Can someone help me confirm on the dating? I've been looking around trying to figure out what kind of fur this is and I can't seem to get it. The fur is about 3/4" to 1" in length and doesn't have an undercoat. The panel appears to be one solid piece instead of multiple pelts sewn together.

Thank you in advance!

I think it may be goat skin fur...Our resident fur expert I am sure will come along with her opinion.

Hi there,

That's very nice. It is kid goat and it does date to the 40s.

I actually found an ad from 1942, with some similar ones and in this one they do actually advertise grey kid which is really cool I think.

This one is the same ad. It just shows the date of the ad and the newspaper it was in.
