Hi all ! I purchased this fur coat at a resale shop, it was labeled as mink but was identified by a wealthy consignee as sable. I know that sable is a wild mink, but I don't know how to tell the difference. The coat has a remarkably soft hand and a wonderful luster. It has a single pom pom style button closure. A sort of turtle like collar. It also came with a muff/purse that has a metal zip closure, stamped "Gripper Zipper". The color of the fur changes when the nap is combed up or down. I demonstrated this with the muff. No inside lables, beisdes the monogrammed initials. Was hoping to get some info on the date and fur type. Looks 40s/50s to me.
