Mouton 3/4 w/Port Authority label

[Laura Perrow]

I inherited this coat, had it cleaned by a furrier and have worn it (very heavy). The label says Port Authority. What date range does that make this coat?
Thank you.

Hi there, The label inside your coat says Fur Authority Label. The Fur Authority Label ensured that salesmen did not do bait and switches advertising one fur and then providing a fur that was lower in value, using fictitious names, or inflating prices.

It was first used in 1956 and I have not seen it in fur garments later than the 60s.

Is there any chance you can show me the full coat so I can see the cuffs, a back view, and the lining?

Thank you.
