It is a lovely coat. It is not mink or sable. Hard to say without a photo of a closer look at the fur. But it looks like what they used to call "Hudson Seal" which is imitation seal made of real fur dyed black, from rabbits or similar small mammals.

The pelts look on the small side, so I do not think it is real seal, but again I cannot get a good look.

Thank you so much for your reply I will upload a pics of it up close.. I have never heard of harbor seal. Sort of like the faux furs of the 30’s..‍♀️

The fur does not seem dense enough to be seal. I am no fur expert, but I do think is some small mammal fur dyed black to mimic real seal. It is not faux fur, it is real fur. Not sure what "faux furs" of the 30s you refer to?

I just thought it was a fake made to look real LOL! Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it!!!
