    Hello and thank you for taking the time to help me.

    Here is the information I have available:
    • likely purchased in the 1940s
    • location: Lansing, Michigan
    • label says lamb fur, if this is authentic and true
    I do not know the type of interior construction and seaming, etc.

    I really appreciate any information you can share with me concerning this item as I am not a fur expert.

    Thank you

  2. Wikipedia says:

    "Mouton fur (North America) or beaver lamb (UK) is sheepskin which has been processed to resemble beaver or seal fur[10] (mouton is French for "sheep"). Mouton fur is lambskin whose hair has been straightened, chemically treated, and thermally set to produce a moisture-repellent finish. Mouton is often dyed brown to resemble beaver, but it is also made in many other colors."
    I think your coat is more likely from the 1950s, but let's wait and see what others say. :)
