Help identifying vintage fur coats (from Benioff's, Filbron's, and Kobren)

[BrandyR]

Hello everyone!

My grandmother recently gave me three of her coats, but she doesn't remember what kind of fur is around the collars. Can anyone help? The first coat is from Benioff's, the second from Kobren, and the third from Filbron's. To me, they look like mink, fox, and sheep, respectively, but I don't know much about fur.

She also gave me two fur stoles, which she thinks are mink but is not sure about. Can you tell if they are actually mink?

Thank you so much for the help- I really appreciate it!

(Sorry about the huge amount of pictures.)

Hi, Lovely pieces. The first garment shown is a black Broadtail lamb jacket with a Mahogany Mink fur collar, the second garment shown has a Pastel Mink fur collar, the third garment has a Mouton fur collar, the 1st stole is Marmot fur, and the 2nd stole is Russian Squirrel.

Wow, thank you!! It's really amazing that you're able to tell from just the pictures. How do you get so good at that? Thanks again!

You are most welcome. I have a lot of experience and have been studying furs for a long time.

I was wondering if I post a pic of a Benioff's fur coat, if you can give me some idea of what it is, fur wise, & it's value?
